break~in at the-/Post Office Building, Camden, New_ Jersey, scheduled

for July 25, 1971.

John Peter Grady, a close associate of the Berrigan
| brothers, according to several sources, claims to have planned and
| participated in the Media burglary. He was allegedly assisted by
i Fathers Joseph O'Rourke, Peter Fordi, and Edward McGowan. In
addition, at least three other alleged associates of the Berrigan
group are believed to have participated. Through information
trecently developed, Grady has been pinpointed as the individual .
who masterminded at least 14 of the 18 break-ins of various ne 8
Government facilities during the past two years. He currently is,
‘heads up what is termed the "action group" and is reported
reliably as being a staunch advocate of "hits" on Federal
facilities as a means of embarrassing the Federal Government.

During the past several weeks, we have been successful
in inserting a highly productive source into a group led by Grady
which is presently planning a break-in of the draft board office
With alternate targets being Military Entelligence and the FBI
esident Agency, all located in the Post Office Building at Camden,
New Jersey, a Government reservation. The early morning hours of
Sunday, July 18, 1971, was the original target date. However,
philadelphia has now reported that, in all probability, the
it would be delayed until July 25, 1971, in order to allow elements
_ _difrom the Newark, New Jersey, area to participate. Under the
direction of SAC Roy K. Moore, on special Medburg assignment, with
es A the cooperation of SACs, Philadelphia and Newark, arrangements have
7 \ been perfected aimed at apprehending these individuals red-handed.
Hopefully, O'Rourke, Fordi, and McGowan will participate in the
Camden break-in as well as others involved in the Media burglary.
Precautions have been taken to cover our Resident Agency at ail
times. In addi tioniyeenyonnet are on continual alert to swing into

Memorandum to Mr. Sullivan
Re: Burglary of FBI Resident Agency
Media, _ Pennsylvania, 3-8-71
With respect to the proposed Camden break-in, it was
recognized from the outset that secrecy was imperative-~both from
| E ‘standpoint of protecting our source who has ‘successfully

eet

associated himself to a very close degree with. Grady and, more
‘important, insuring there be no leak which would scare off Grady
and his group. By memoranda June 28 and July 7, 1971, we pointed
out the importance of keeping these plans confidential, it being
imperative that there be no dissemination outside the FBI at this
time. It is SAC Moore's recommendation we not alert at this time
any agencies having an interest and/or located in the Post Office
Building. This would include General Services Administration, the
military, Selective Service, and Postal authorities. To do so might
result in activity which could very well alert the alleged :
perpetrators who are very sensitive to any unusual activity and
who have the Post Office under surveillance.

It should be noted the Internal Security Division of the
Department has requested it be advised of all matters having any
possible connection with the Berrigan group. None of the individuals
known to be planning participation in the Camden break-in are among
those indicted with Berrigan in the Eastcon case. Nevertheless, it
appears persons associated with the Berrigan group are involved in
the planning of the Camden break-in and all seem to. be inextricably
intertwined in the Berrigan and Eastcon philosophies.

tt is also noted that in a memorandum dated March 29, 1971,
the Internal Security Division indicated, in view of the interest
of that Division in those individuals associated with Eastcon and
the Berrigan supporters, they desired the Media case be handled in
its entirety by the Special Litigation Section of the Internal
Security Division. They also requested that in addition to
communications, all prosecutive presentations should be made to the
Special Litigation Section,

ACTION: In view of the above developments. indicating a tentative
action date for July 25, 1971, it is recommended this matter. be
presented at this time to the Special Litigation Section well in
advance of the target date in order that there can be no question
concerning the propriety of our proposed action. The Bureau
obviously must fulfill its responsibilities in this case which
might involve the apprehension of from 15 to 25 individuals in the
commission of the intended break-in of the Post Office Building.
In order to preclude as much as possible any unforeseen difficulties,

Memorandum to Mr. Sullivan
' Re: ‘Burglary of FBI Resident Agency
Media, Pennsylvania, 3-8-71

it is recommended that SAC Roy K. Moore, who has ‘the responsibility
for the overall direction of this situation, be immediately
instructed to report to Bureau Headquarters for a full discussion
of his proposed plans. If approved, SAC Roy Moore, representatives
of the Syecial Investigative Division and General Investigative
Division, and Mr. Dalbey will present this matter to the Special
Litigation Section of the Department with reference to the
contemplated prosecutive action in the event a break-in should

. occur.

In view of the sensitive nature of this material,

‘DETAILS:

On January 27, 1972, Investigative Clerk ROBERT C.
KEARNEY contacted Sergeant JOHN DEVLIN, Philadelphia Polic
Department and was advised that arrest reports and related
documents are destroyed after two years of storage. He. advised
that the only information available would: be that of the subject's
criminal record. It is noted that office of origin is in
receipt of criminal record.

On February 9, 15, 23 and 25, 1972, attempts were made
to contact PHILIP TRACY through the Village Voice 80 University
\ Place, New York, New York, with negative results.

On March 8, 1972, inquiry at the Village Voices 80
University Place, New York, New York, revealed PHILIP TRACY
was presently cut of town and expected to return sometime next
week. Attempts to determine his present location and/or some
means of immediate contact were met with a negative response.

During the past two months numerous attempts have
been made “in person and telephonically to contact PHILIP
TRACY, reporter, through the Vi llage Voice". On-each
occasion receptionist personnel of the "Village Voice"

‘ advised that TRACY was.not there at the present time, that
they had no idea as to how to contact him nor a telephone
number where: he could be reached, but they would take a
message for him. On each occasion a message was left but
never answered. . : a

On March 31, 1972, Special Agent (Accountant)
ROBERT H. WALLER and SA MARTIN 3. GASS observed DALE SPEERS
a CUNNINGHAM driving a blue Ford convertible with California
License’ 710-DOL. .

The sotlowing investigation was conducted by SC

registered for 1972 to KOREAKI OCGATA, Department of Biology,

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

FD-302 (REV 41-27-70)

Date of transcription 9/2/71 ;

On August 27, 1971, Special Agents MARTIN J. GASS,
THOMAS E. TIERNEY and ROBERT H. WALLER went to the residence
of 130 North 4th Street, Camden, New Jersey, in an effort to
locate and apprehend Reverend EDWARD J. MC GOWAN, a federal
fugitive. Information had been received that he was at the
address of DALE S. CUNNINGHAM,

Special Agents (SAS) WALLER and TIERNEY went to
the front of the residence and SA GASS went to the rear door,

In the act of going up the steps to the front door,
vhich was open, a house number was not observed, Miss LIANNE
MOCCIA, who had been arrested in the act of destroying Draft

- Board records in Camden, New Jersey, on August 22, 1971, was
observed at the front entrance and when she saw the approaching
agents, she ran quickly inside.

A white male, later identified as DALE S, CUNNINGHAM,
met SAS TIERNEY and WALLER on the front steps and foyer,

SA WALLER identified himself and SA TIERNEY and
explained the reason for their presence, namely, the existence
of an arrest warrant for EDWARD J. MC GOWAN and there was in-
formation that MC GOWAN either was at this residence or had
been there a short time ago, and would he produce MC GOWAN
or permit a search of this property in order to locate MC GOWAN.

CUNNINGHAM became outraged and stated that no one
mae

was going to search this property and refused toe confirm or
deny the presence of MC GOWAN. The agents left the premises.

SA WALLER then telephonically verified that MC GOWAN
was definitely believed to be at CUNNINGHAM's residence.

SA WALLER again proceeded to the CUNNINGHAM resi-
dence, 130 North 4th Street, Camden, New Jersey, with the
following SAS:

ALBERT W. CARROLL DON G. OWENS
EUGENE 5S. DEBBAUDT THOMAS E, TIERNEY

Upon arrival, CUNNINGHAM was again in the foyer,
as if expecting someone. SA WALLER again idéntified himsel?
by displaying his credentials again, and identified the other
men as SAS of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

CUNNINGHAM was advised that the information that
MC GOWAN was at this residence was considered reliable and
that the agents would like to search the residence. At this
point CUNNINGHAM said, “No, you are not going to search my
house", and proceeded to lash out at SA WALLER with his left
forearm and elbow, striktnesSA WALLER in the left jaw. He

Shen placed his open right hand on SA WALLER'’s face and struck

out at SA WALLER with his hands and arms... With his left
arm, he grabbed SA WALLER around the neck and lifted ups

With the help ef SAS DEBBAUDT, OWENS, and TIERNEY,
with SAS CARROLL and GASS attempting to get into the small
foyer area, CUNNINGHAM was subdued and placed under arrest,
being so advised by SAS OWENS and WALLER.

CUNNINGHAM was taken to the Camden, New Jersey,
Office of the FBI by SAS DEBBAUDT and OWENS

SAS CARROLL, GASS, TIERNEY and WALLER searched the
premises at 130 North 4th Street, Camden, New Jersey, but
' MC GOWAN was not located on these premises.

: At this residence were also two other males, LIANNE
MOCCIA and two other females, all of whom refused to identify
‘hemsqlves except PHILIP TRACY.

; : TRACY stated to SAS WALLER and CARROLL that he was
employed by the Village Voice, 80 Union Place, New York City.

New York, telephone number 212-WA 4-4669. TRACY also volunteered
that he could not understand nor explain why CUNNINGHAM had
become so violent and acted the way he did in view of the
gentlemanly conduct of agents and if he had been in charge
here, this would not have hapened, since CUNNINGHAM's actions
were unnecessary and unreasonable,

) 9. In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial.or religious basis

with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han-
dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts
that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be either assumed or declared, The issuance of this state-
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instancs, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of
the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized.
‘ 10. In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or

bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the

SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

Requesting authority for release

"a. By teletype

At Least four hours before the time of release, developments in the
case, an outline of the release, and statement release will be made
UACB aré to be furnished the Bureau.

b. By telephone where time is of essence
Confer with division head having supervision of the matter for
investigative clearance and with the office of the division head of
the Crime Records Division for final press clearance, While good
judgment must prevail, in important cases in which a local newspaper
deadline is approaching, it may be advisable to telephone the Bureau
for clearance.

Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAC or in his absence’

by the ASAC.

Releases are to be made both at headquarters and the local area affected.
by developments. ALl material prepared for the public must be reviewed
word for word. It is not to contain words or phrases which might be
regarded as objectionable or offensive to a member of any race, creed, or
religious sect. Thorough advance planning should be utilized wherever
possible, and all press releases should be coordinated to eliminate any
avoidable delays.

In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the public inter-
est, no statement should be put in an announcement to the press to the
effect that a subject either has confessed or has admitted his crimes
without specific Bureau approval. In case of doubt, consult the Bureau.
When the fact thet a subject has given a confession is included in a com-
plaint and an inquiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment" reply
should be given. The complaint is a court record and must be left to
speak for itself.

On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations

in which good judgment so dictates. Emergency on-the-spot statements by
Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of
fugitive or criminal in gun battle. If badly wanted fugitive apprehended
in remote area and SAC absent, Agent may, in rare emergency only and where
time of essence, furnish bare details. Contact by SAC with press should
be effected immediately where press desires further details.

In those instances in which a press release is issued at SOG, television
and radio media should be merely provided with a written copy of the press
release, and Bureau personnel should not submit to live, filmed, or tape-
recorded interviews of any kind, including the reading of the release it~
self, without prior Bureau authority. Tact and diplomacy must be exercised
in declining to participate in such interviews. With respect to local
press releases, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances on
television and radio provided no interviews are conducted and there is
absolutely no elaboration over and above the original press releasa,.

These conditions should be made known in advance to television and radio
station representatives when such requests are received.[Reading of these
local press releases on the telephone to the news media should be done by
the SAC or ASAC.] .

In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never suggest
or request a reporter or another representative of a newspaper or similar

publication to withhold the publication of news. In the event that special

circumstances do exist, it will be necessary to clear with the Bureau prior
to making any such request. :

At least four hours before the time of release, developments in the

case, an outline of the release, and statement release will be made

UACB are to be furnished the Bureau. . :
b. By telephone where time is of essence :

Confer with division head having supervision of the matter for

investigative clearance and with[Press Services Office]for final

press clearance. While good judgment must prevail, in important

cases in which a local newspaper deadline is approaching, it may

be advisable to telephone the Bureau for clearance,
Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAC or in his absence
by the ASAC. . ,
Releases are to be made both at headquarters and the local area affected
by davelopments, All material prepared for the public must be reviewed
word for word. It is not to contain words or phrases which might be . e
regarded as objectionable or offensive to a member of any race, creed, or:
religious sect. Thorough advance planning should be utilized wherever
possible, and all press releases should be. coordinated to eliminate any
avoidable delays. ; _
in the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the public inter-
est, no statement should be put in an announcement to the press to the
effect that a subject either has confessed or has admitted his crimes
without specific Bureau approval. In case of doubt, consult the Bureau.
When the fact that a subject has given a confession is included in a com-
plaint and an inguiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment" reply
should be. given. The complaint is a court record and must be left to.
speak for itself.
On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations
in which good judgment so dictates. Emergency on-the-spot statements by

Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of Pa
fugitive or criminal in gun battle, If badly wanted fugitive apprehended (
in remote area and SAC absent, Agent may, in rare emergency only and where

time of essence, furnish bare details, Contact by SAC with press should

be effected immediately wheres press desires further details,

In those instances in which a press release is issued at[FBIHQ, television
and radio media should be merely provided with a written copy of the press
release, and Bureau personnel should not submit to live, filmed, or tape-
récorded interviews of any kind, including the reading of the release it-
self, without prior Bureau authority. Tact and diplomacy must be exercised
in declining to participate in such interviews. With respect to local
press releases, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances on
television and radio provided no interviews are conducted and there is
absolutely no elaboration over and above the original press release,

These conditions should be made known in advance to television and radio
station representatives when such requests are received. Reading of these
local press releases on the telephone to the news media should be done by
the SAC or ASAC,

In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never suggest
or request a reporter or another representative of a newspaper or similar
publication to withhold the publication of news. In the event that special
circumstances do exist, it will be necessary to clear with the Bureau prior
to making any such request. . :

SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han-
dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts
that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state-
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instances, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of
the inoident so a prompt statement oan he authorized.

In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or
bank larceny no information should be volunteered, concerning the

amount of loot obtained. Specific questions by members of the press
concerning amount of loot may be answered only following the arrest of

an individual or individuals for violation of the Federal bank robbery
statute,

Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press
release Pile if exists.

In connection with service awards to Bureau personnel, SACs may provide
news media with a photograph and a brief biographical sketch of employee.
No employee may submit to a personal interview by a newsman in connection
with such an award or under any other circumstances, for that matter,
without prior Bureau authority. This does not preclude an SAC or other
Bureau official from issuing news releases in accordance with existing
Bureau policy.

Bureau personnel, including SACs and ASACs, are not to participate

in give-and-take news conferences without prior Bureau authority
including clearance by the Press Services Office. This will be

permitted only in the rarest of circumstances where mitigating facts
clearly indicate it is to the Bureau's best interests to participate.)

a. Mount the clipping on form FD~350 within the borders shown,

b. Do not fold the clipping except in the case of a very large picture
or in the case of a’ single word in a headline too long to fi% in the
allotted space, Make certain the clipping is placed evenly on the
paper and does not hang over its edges. If necessary, a second page
may be used and the only requirement is that a margin at least 1 1/2
inches deep should be left at the top of the page. :

ce, The large vlock on the right side of FD-~350 has space for the insertion
of the names of more than one newspaper. The names of newspapers

. Clipped may be overprinted in this space. Placing the page number on
the line in front of the name of the newspaper will serve to designate
which paper the clipping is from. The page number may be written in
longhand, Only the page number on which the article begins should
be shown, If overprinting is not used, required information other

- than page number should be typed. . .

a. Show whether the matter mentioned is being investigated.

e, Insert staples horizontally at the top and bottom and vertically at
the sides of all clippings. Use only a sufficient number of staples
to hold the clipping securely to the paper.

f. Do not mutilate or mark clipping in any manner by underlining or
circling words or by drawing arrows to direct attention,

g. No cover letter needed when submitting clippings unless clarification

. is required for a particular clipping. This may be handled by routing
( slip, letter, or airtel accompanying clipping in question.

4. Submission of publications of security interest to the Bureau

a. General principle governing submissions : : ,
The Bureau desires to receive publications of security interest at
[ [FBIHQ]for purposes of information, research, and intelligence. Conse-

quently, it is requested that evidentiary copies of publications be

retained in the field and only nonevidentiary copies be forwarded to

the Bureau by routing slip.

b. Manner of handling and forwarding nonevidentiary copies of publica-

tions

{1) Nonevidentiary copies of newspapers, magazines, journals, °
periodicals, news bulletins, and books, obtained regularly
(by subscription or repeated purchase) and forwarded to the
Bureau, need not be identified as to source. They should be
submitted via ordinary mail by routing slip (marked for the

[ attention of [Section IS-3, Intelligence Division)]unless

transmittal by cover letter has been specifically requested.
Routing slips may be used to notify the Bureau of routine adminis~
trative matters, such as temporary suspension of a publication (
{e.8., during summer months, lack of funds), temporary delay in
obtaining or receiving particular issues of a publication, or
other information which will keep the Bureau informed relative to
the status of these publications, To avoid confusion, noneviden~
tiary copies which have been marked for. identification (source,
Agent, date, and place of acquisition)should be further annotated:
"Not Evidence,"

o

Letters should be used in connection with initiating action or
‘ceasing action to obtain publications desired by the Bureau; to
call to the attention of the Bureau specific items of information
-connected with these publications; and in those instances in -
which good judgment dictates that certain circumstances or
information should be recorded in letter form.
. (2) Bach SAC and each Legal attache must keep the Bureau, attention

[ _ [Section IS-3, Intelligence Division, Jinformed on a current basis
regarding publications (including books} of potential interest
that are not included in the current list of publications which
is supplied pericdically to the field and to the legal attaches.
These publications would include those published by subjects
of security or counterintelligenuce investigations and publica-—
tions which may otherwise have a security or counterintelligence

. sighificance.

(3} Each SAC and each legal attache should insure that the handling
of publications for which his office is responsible is being
given adequate supervision at all times. Subscriptions to these
publications should be followed closely to insure that the
publications are received at the Bureau on a current basis. The
Bureau should be advised of the expiration date of the subscrip-
tion to each publication in sufficient time to enable the
Bureau to determine the necessity for renewal.

SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full-
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han-
dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts
that may indicate any Federal violation, At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state~-
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of
the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized.

In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or
bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the

amount of loot obtained. Specific questions by members of the press
concerning amount of loot may be answered only following the arrest of

an individual or individuals for violation of the Federal bank robbery
statute.

Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press
release file if exists. :
In connection with service awards to Bureau personnel, SACs may provide
news media with a photograph and a brief biographical sketch of employee,
No employees may submit to a personal interview by a newsman in connection
with such an award or under any other circumstances, for that matter,
without prior Bureau authority. This does not preclude an SAC or other
Bureau official from issuing news releases in accordance with existing
Bureau policy.

Bureau personnel, including SACs and ASACs, are not to participate

in give-and-take news conferences without prior Bureau authority
including clearance by the Press Services Office. -This will be

permitted only in the rarest of circumstances where mitigating facts
clearly indicate it is to the Bureau's best interests to participate.

2. SACs may approve the use of a circular letter directed to panking—
type institutions within their owm divisions to expedite circularization
of known serial numbers of money included in the loot taken in a bank
robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny. On a highly selective basis,
on approval of the SAC, leads may be set out to contiguous offices to
circularize banking—type institutions in those divisions, and the Bureau
should be notified that this action is being taken unless advised to
the contrary. Communications setting out such leads must include suf—
ficient facts to enable the Bureau to properly evaluate and justify the
additional circularization. In all other cases prior Bureau approval
must be obteined in accordance with existing rules governing circular
letters. In all instances the circular letter must include the following:
2. <A brief concise statement concerning the bank robbery, bank burglary,
or bank larceny and the fact that included in the loot or money
taken was money, the serial numbers of which are known
b. List of known serial numbers according to denomination, series year

approval, and sufficient identifying data should be furnished so that an
appropriate Bureau indices check may be made.

Confidential Nature of FBI Operations

See Part I, Section 1, page 9, paragraph B of Manual of Rules and
Regulations. ,

Title 28, Section 50.2 of the Code of Federal Regulations concerning
release of information by personnel of the Department of. Justice
relating to criminal and civil proceedings states:

"(a) Generale .(1) The availability to news media of information in
criminal and civil cases is a matter which has become increasingly a
subject of concern in the administration of justice. The purpose of
this statement is to formulate specific guidelines for the release of
such information by personnel of the Department of Justice.

"(2) While the release of information for the purpose of influencing a
trial is, of course, always improper, there are valid reasons for making
available to the public information about the administration of the Law.
The task of striking a fair balance between the protection of individuals
accused of crime or involved in civil proceedings with the Government —
and public understandings of the problems of controlling crime and
administering government depends largely on the exercise of sound judg-
ment by those responsible for administering the law and by representa-
tives of the press and other mediae

(3) Inasmuch as the Department of Justice has generally fulfilled

its responsibilities with awareness and understanding of the competing
needs in this area, this statement, to a considerable extent, reflects
and formalizes the standards to which representatives of the Department
have adhered in the past. Nonetheless, it wili be heipful in ensuring
uniformity of practice to set forth the following guidelines for all
personnel of the Department of Justice.

"(4) Because of the difficulty and importance of the questions they
raise, it is felt that some portions of the matters covered by this
statement, such as the authorization to make available Federal con-
viction records and a description of items seized at the time of arrest,
should be the subject of continuing review and consideration by the
Department on the basis of experience and suggestions from those within
and outside the Department.

"(b) Guidelines to criminal actions. (1) These guidelines shall

apply to the release of information to news media from the time a
person is the subject of a criminal investigation until any proceeding
resulting from such as investigation has been terminated by trial or
otherwises

"(2) At no time shall personnel of the Department of Justice furnish
any statement or information for the purpose of influencing the out-
come of a defendant's trial, nor shall personnel of- the Department
furnish any statement or information, which could reasonably be expected
to be disseminated by means of public communication, if such a statement
or information may reasonably .be expected to influence the outcome of

a pending or future trial.

™(3) Personnel of the Department of Justice, subject to specific limita-
tions imposed by law or court rule or order, may make public the follow-
ing information:

"(i) The defendant's name, age, residence, employment, marital status, C
and similar background information.

"(ii) The substance or text of the charge, such as a complaint,

indictment, or information. co

"(iii) The identity of the investigating and/or arresting agency and

the length or scope of an investigation.

"Civ) The circumstances immediately surrounding an arrest, including

the time and place of arrest, resistance, pursuit, possession and use

of weapons, and a description of physical items seized at the time of
arreste

"Disclosures should include only incontrovertible, factual matters, and
should not include subjective observationse In addition, where back~
ground information or information relating to the circumstances of an
arrest or investigation would be highly prejudicial or where the release
thereof would serve no law enforcement function, such information should
not be made publica .

"(4) Personnel of the Department shall not volunteer for publication © .
any information concerning a defendant's prior criminal record, but infor-.
mation drawn from Federal conviction records may be made available in
response to a specific request. .

"(5) Because of the particular danger of prejudice resulting from
statements in the period approaching and during trial, they ought
strenuously .to be avoided during that period. Any such statement or

release shall be made only on the infrequent occasion when circumstances
absolutely demand a disclosure of information and shall include only
information which is clearly not prejudicial. :

"(6) The release of certain types of information generally tends to

create dangers of prejudice without serving a significant law enforce-~

ment functiom. Therefore, personnel of the Department should refrain .
from making available the following: (
"(i) Observations about a defendant's character.

"Cii) Statements, admissions, confessions, or alibis attributable to a
defendant, or the refusal or failure of the accused to make a statement.
"(iii) Reference to investigative procedures such as fingerprints,
polygraph examinations, ballistic tests, or laboratory tests, or to the
refusal by the defendant to submit to such tests or examinations.

"Civ) Statements concerning the identity, testimony, or credibility of
prospective witnesses. .

"Cv) Statements concerning evidence or argument in the case, whether

or not it is anticipated that such evidence or argument will be used

at trial.

"(vi) Any opinion as to the accused's guilt, or the possibility of a

piea of guilty to the offense charged, or the possibility of a plea

to a lesser offense. :
(7) Personnel of the Department of Justice should take no action to |
encourage or assist news media in photographing or televising a defend-

ant or accused person being held or transported in Federal custody.

Departmental representatives should not make available photographs of a
defendant unless a law enforcement function is served thereby.

: c "(8) This statement of policy is not intended to restrict the release
of information concerning a defendant who is a fugitive from justices
"(9) Since the purpose of this statement is to set forth generally
applicable guidelines, there will, of course, be situations in which
it will limit the release of information which would not be prejudicial
under the particular circumstances. If a representative of the Depart
ment believes that in the interest of the fair administration of justice
and the law enforcement process information beyond these guidelines .
should be released, in a particular case, he shall request the permis-
| sion of the Attorney General or the Deputy Attorney General to do soe
"(c) Guidelines to civil actionse Personnel of the Department of
| Justice associated with a civil action shall not during its investiga-
tion or litigation make or participate in making an extrajudicial
statement, other than a quotation from or reference to public records,
which a reasonable person would expect to be disseminated by means of
public communication if there is a reasonable likelihood that such dis~
semination will interfere with a fair trial and which relates to:
"(1) Evidence regarding the occurrence or transaction involved. -
"(2) The character, credibility, or criminal records of a party, wit-
nesS, or prospective witnesse
"(3). The performance or results of any examinations or tests or the
refusal or failure of a party to submit to such.

3. News Releases
Fairness, accuracy, and sensitivity to the rights of defendants, as
well as to the public's right to know, must prevail in all dealings
with the news mediae Favoritism should-be shown toward no newsman
or no news mediume . ee

.

oN

Information concerning the FBI, including information regarding arrests
and other developments in cases investigated by the FBI, is disclosed
to news media, including newspapers, news magazines, news services, and
radio and television networks or stations, (a) as news releases or
announcements, initiated by the FBI, and (b) as responses to inquiries
emanating from newsmene .

Each field office should maintain a control file containing all news
releases issued by the office since the last inspection.
_ &@ "One-Office"™ news releases
: The vast majority of news releases made by field offices z are issued

to announce arrests in FBI cases. The provisions of Section 50.2
clearly apply to all of these. If an SAC feels that an exception
to those provisions should be made in any individual case, he should
make his views known to the Assistant Directors of (a) the sub-
stantive division involved and (b) the External Affairs Division.
Exceptions to the instructions provided in Section 50e2 can be
approved only by the Attorney General or the Deputy Attorney General,
not by any official of the FBI.

PART ILI

SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

All news releases made by field offices should be issued over the
name of the SAC. They should be issued to all interested news media
in the field office territory as simultaneously as possible; and they
should provide as full an account of the facts as can be disclosed
within the provisions of Section 50.2. In news releases announcing
arrests or other developments attributable to the joint efforts of
the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, appropriate recognition
should, of course, be given to those other agencies.

SACs may authorize other experienced Special Agents, including
Resident Agents, in their field offices to read or deliver news
releases issued over the SAC's name to news media after the SAC
has approved those news releases. However, those Special Agents
should not expand upon the information in the news releases; and
they should answer any inquiry ox request for additional informa~
tion by courteously telling the newsman involved that his inquiry
or request will be brought to the attention of the SAC as quickly
as possible for his consideration and action. The reason for the
policy of referring all such matters to the SAC is to assure both
uniformity and accuracy of any supplemental information that is
provided to news medias

SACS also may authorize other experienced Special Agents to record
news releases in compliance with requests of radio and television :
stations, However, only SACs or ASACS should make live or filmed
television appearances involving the reading of news releases.

SACs have the option of accepting or declining such time-consuming
requests made by radio and television stations. If declined,

however, the declinations should be tactfully worded and explained

so as to avoid any impression of partiality. If a request is
accepted, the radio and/or television station involved should under~
stand that the SAC or the Special Agent designated by the SAC will
merely read the text of the news release and will not answer questions.

On occasion, SACs also issue news releases or make announcements
dealing with administrative matters such as transfers of the SAC
or ASAC of the field office or presentation of service awards to
personnel of the field office. On such occasions, photographs

and biographical sketches of the personnel involved may be made
available to the news media. However, requests to interview these
employees about their official duties and experiences should
tactfully be declined.

‘be coordinated with the Administrative Division and the External

Affairs Division.

MMulti-Office" news releases

News releases announcing arrests or other important developments

in wide-ranging investigations often require close coordination

and simultaneous release to the press by two or more field offices.
The External Affairs Division should be consulted before any such
news release is made, and consideration should be given to the
question of whether a national news release is meritede

National news releases

As a general rule, national news releases announcing arrests or other
investigative developments are issued only in exceptional cases
involving (1) prominent persons, such as well-known business and
civic leaders, entertainers, athletes, or officials of local, county,
state, or Federal Government; (2) persons of national notoriety,
such as members of the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives"; (3) persons
arrested for crimes that have attracted nationwide interest, such

as prevailed in the 1950 robbery of Brink's Ince, at Boston,
Massachusetts, and the 1964 murder of three young civil rights workers
in Neshoba County, Mississippi; and (4) persons whose crimes have
international ramifications, such as espionage agents or fugitives
who have fled abroad. The heads of headquarters and field divisions
should assure that the essential facts of all such cases, including
anticipated developments therein, are promptly brought to the atten~-
tion of the External Affairs Division on a continuing basise

National news releases generally will be issued in Washington, De. Co
However, copies will be furnished to all interested field offices so
that the SACs of those offices can make them available to local news
media within minutes of their release in Washington.

SACs should not expand upon the contents of national news releases
without approval of both the substantive division involved and the
External Affairs Divisions

SECTION 6- PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

News Media Inquiries (
There are two categories of news media inquiries. The first involves ,
routine inquiries received at the field office regarding either investi-

gative or administrative matterse These should be answered by the SAC

or ASAC within the guidelines indicated above.

In responding to such inquiries, SACs and ASACs should be courteous,
factual, and as helpful as possible. They should, however, avoid
answering hypothetical questions or questions that would require them
to express personal opinions on matters of intense local or national
controversye

The second category involves inquiries from the news media in emergency.
situations. Often these are received by Special Agents at the scenes
of arrests, gun battles, or other ‘fast-moving developments in investigations.

Uniess undercover assignments or similar overriding circumstances dic-
tate otherwise, Special Agents who are approached by newsmen at the scenes
of fast-moving developments in FBI cases should (a) identify themselves
as "a Special Agent of the FBI," (b) furnish the name of the field office

‘to which they are assigned, and (c) ‘state the general nature of the inves~

tigative operations, such as "We are here to serve an arrest (or a search) -
warrant.'' Requests for additional information should be answered by
courteously referring the newsman to the field office or to the tem-
porary field headquarters if such a temporary field headquarters has

been established in the areae _

Only SACs. or ASACs should participate in question~and~answer intérviews

with representatives of any news medium at the scenes of fast-moving ;
developments in FBI casese In emergency situations, however, Special °
Agents can relay reporters' questions to the SAC by "telephone or radio; me (
and the SAC'ts responses thereto can be furnished to the reporters in

the SAC's name by a Special Agent. In other than such emergency situa~

tions, Special Agents should courteously mefer newsmen to the SAC or

ASAC for answers to their questions; and Special Agents' investigative
responsibilities attendant to such fast-moving developments must take
precedence over questions or inquiries of newsmen»

No FBI employee should knowingly furnish an erroneous, deceptive, or
misleading answer to a news media inquiry. In the overwhelming majority
of cases, an unequivocal and definitive answer can be given reporters?
questions’ regarding whether the FBI is, or is not, investigating a
specific criminal act, as well as the reason why we have or have not
instituted investigations However, in kidnap-for-ransom cases and *
related crimes involving a threat against human life, neither the fact

that the crime has occurred , nor the fact that the FBI is investigating

it, should be disclosed or confirmed without the approval of the sub-~

stantive investigative division and the External Affairs Division.

Due to the sensitivity of many banking-type institutions to publicity
concerning the amount of loot obtained in robberies, burglaries, and
larcenies of financial institutions, such information should not be
disclosed to news media without the concurrence of the General Investi-
gative Division and the External Affairs Division.

Under no circumstances should any employee ask or suggest that a news-
man withhold information from the public without the concurrence of the
substantive investigative division and the External Affairs Division.
Fugitive Publicity :
News releases and other public disclosures designed to solicit public
cooperation in the apprehension of FBI fugitives may contain more facts
about the fugitive's criminal background than are permissible in news
releases and announcements regarding arrestse

In publicity regarding FBI fugitives, extreme care should be taken to
avoid statements that brand a fugitive as guilty of a crime for which
he has not been convicted. Arrest numbers or other data that identify
a photograph as having been made in connection with a past arrest or
imprisonment should not appear in | Photographs of fugitives that are
furnished to news mediae-

‘Field offices should coordinate all fugitive publicity with the Special.

Investigative Division and the External Affairs Division; and they should
not hesitate to consult the External Affairs Division regarding ques~
tions or problems that arise in any area of news media relations.
Liaison With News Media ,

SACs who consider it necessary or advisable to do so may use one or
more experienced Special Agents to assist in facilitating prompt and
effective liaison with the news media. Such Agents will not be spokes~
men for their field offices.s They may furnish information to news
media in the SAC's name after it has been approved by the SAC. They
also may assist in preparing news releases, as well as responses to
news media inquiries. These Agents should devote no more time to such
news media liaison duties than is absolutely necessarye .

It is the intent of these guidelines to facilitate a more open stance
and, thereby, a mutually beneficial relationship between FBI and news
media representatives. SACs, as well as other employees acting for them
in news media relations, should be as responsive as practical and pos-
sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmen. The term "No comment"
should be avoided except when its use is absolutely necessary If an
SAC does not know the answer to a newsman's question, he should have no
hesitancy in stating, "I don't know," and/or, depending upon the nature
of the inquiry, telling the newsman "that he will contact him (the news~ |
man) as soon as he has information that can be furnished to him.

SACs should avail themselves of every opportunity to meet and become

well acquainted with leading citizens throughout their field divisions,

including representatives of all important news media. They should seek
to cultivate a personal, as well as an official, relationship with these
individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties make

possible.

robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny. On a highly selective basis,

on approval of the SAC, leads may be set out to contiguous offices to

circularize banking-type institutions in those divisions, and the Bureau

should be notified that this action is being taken unless advised to

the contrary. Communications setting out such leads must include suf-

ficient facts to enable the Bureau to properly evaluate and justify the

additional circularization. In all other cases prior Bureau approval

BUREAU-WIDE INFORMATION PROGRAM REGARDING MATTERS OF NATIONAL INTEREST. C
This program is coordinated by the External Affairs Division and is devoted
primarily to supplying SACs facts regarding current happenings, including

both administrative and investigative developments, that are- topics of

nationwide préss coverage and public interest.

ALL such communications to SACs bear the caption "BUREAU-WIDE INFORMATION
PROGRAM" and are in the form of either teletypes or airtels, dependent upon’
the exigencies of the situation.

The purpose of this program is to assure that each SAC possesses the key
facts concerning important happenings anywhere within the FBI that command
widespread public interest. Information furnished to SACs under this program
should prove heipful to them, as well as to other FBI personnel, in answer-—
ing questions, correcting misunderstandings, and dispelling false rumors

that may exist either within or without the ranks of the FBI. In some
instances, however, the information may be of such a nature that it cannot

be disclosed in whole or in part to outsiders. In fact, occasionally it is
necessary to restrict discussion and disclosure of the information even within
FBIHQ and field offices. Guidelines furnished on each communication should
be strictly followed. ‘ .

FBIHQ and field office personnel should promptly bring to the attention, of
the External Affairs Division all current items ane evens that they

° more experienced Special Agents to assist in facilitating prompt and
. effective liaison with the news media. Such Agents will not be spokes~
men for their field offices. They may furnish information to news
media in the SAC's name after it has been approved by the SAC. They
also may assist in preparing news releases, as well as responses to
news media inquiries. These Agents should devote no more time to such
news media liaison duties than is absolutely necessarye

ons ee pe

It is the intent of these guidelines to facilitate a more open stance
and, thereby, a mutually beneficial relationship between FBI and news
media representatives. SACs, as well as other employees acting for them
in news media relations, should be as responsive as practical and pos=
sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmen. The term "No comment"
should be avoided except when its use is absolutely necessary. If an
SAC -does not know the answer to a newsman?s question, he should have no
hesitancy in stating, "I don't know," and/or, depending upon the nature
of the inquiry, telling the newsman that he will contact him (the news~
man) as soon as he has information that can be furnished to him.

SACs should avail themselves of every opportunity to meet and become
well acquainted with leading citizens throughout their field divisions,
including representatives of all important news media.» They should seek
to cultivate a personal, as well as an official, relationship with these
individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties make
possible.

f » [Suggestions and submissions
a» Each field office is required to submit three suggestions for byline
articles from each state within its territory. Prior to submitting
suggestions, proposed authors may be approached to determine their
willingness to prepare an article and to identify the scope of their
topics However, proposed authors should not be asked to prepare a
manuscript until the Bureau notifies the field office that the sug-
[ gestion has been accepted and the article is requested. In contacts
t with any proposed or potential authors, absolutely no tepresentations
should be madé which. would obligate the FBI to any publishing com-
f mitments since many factors determine which articles received are
ultimately published.
be In suggesting featured articles, consideration should mainly be given
to manuscripts concerning proven programs and techniques of law
enforcement which may be of significant value to other agencies.
Suggestions should be concerned with training, research, or opera~
{ tional matters. Avoid items of a "newsletter" nature and matters
which have a limited scope of interest in the profession.
Ge Hach field office should be alert to exceptional photographs which ,
' could be recommended for use as a cover for the magazines. The Bureau
wishes to project on the Bulletin's cover the best image of law en-
forcement. Attention~getting photographs showing officers giving aid

to helpless citizens, protecting the weak, comforting the injured, or-

apprehending the guilty are examples of those that should be recom-
mended when they come to the attention of field offices.

3e

The speech program is the personal responsibility of the SAC, and the

SAC or ASAC should handle principal commitments. If neither available,
these can be handled by an experienced and well-~informed Agent

approved for the commitment by the SAC.or ASAC. Good judgment should
dictate when a manuscript should be submitted to FBIHQ for approval in
advance of a speaking engagement, particularly in regard to radio and
television appearances. . a

It is not necessary to advise FBIHQ of each speaking engagement. Each
office will maintain for a minimum of one year and one regular office
inspection a control file in connection with acceptances and declinations
of speech invitations. Each year on January 10th and on July 10th.

each office will submit to FBIHQ a statistical report of speaking
commitments handled. This will be divided into engagements by the SAC,
the ASAC, and other Agent Supervisors; and will be further subdivided
into speeches as well as radio, television, and Career Day appearances
by these three groups.

Each office should maintain a speech material file for the use of speakers.
This should include Law Enforcement Bulletin items, interesting case
material, magazine articles, research literature, newspaper clippings ;
pertaining to law enforcement matters of interest, and items of value in
connection with public appearances of Bureau representatives. In addition
to being maintained in-current status, this speech material should be
indexed as to subject matter in the office files.

Purchase of individual publications at Bureau request
When the Bureau requests a field office to purchase and forward one
or more copies of publications of seourity interest, it is desired,
unless otherwise specifically stated, that nonevidentiary copies be
forwarded, With respect to these specific Bureau requests for the
purchese of individual copies of publications, the requested non
evidentiary copies should be forwarded to the Bureau by routing slip
via ordinary mail,
Obtaining and retaining evidentiary copies of publications in the
field
When the submitting office determines, or is advised by the Bureau,
that a certain issue of a publication (which has already been for=
warded to the Bureau) is deemed to be of sufficient importance to
warrant the obtaining of an evidentiary copy of that issue, a copy
thereof should be obtained through live informants or by having an
Agent purchase a copy at a public outlet for that publication, if
confidentially feasible. The evidentiary copy, bearing complete
identifying data, should be retained as evidence in the field office;
and the Bureau should be so advised by letter, setting forth
complete identifying data concerning the evidentiary copy, together
with the caption and file number of the file in which the evidentiary
copy is retained,
Transmittal of evidentiary copies of publications to the Bureau
Instances in which the field will transmit evidentiary copies of publica—
tions to the Bureau will be limited almost exclusively to the submission
of copies of foreign language publications for translation of certain
material for use as evidence. In these instances, it is required that:
1 Each copy submitted bear complete identifying data
2 The material be forwarded in sealed envelopes labeled "Evidence"
3) "he material be forwarded via registered mail
4) The cover letter of transmittal be-marked for the attention of.
the FBI Laboratory; state clearly that it is contemplated that the
publications (and translations thereof) will be used as evidence;
identify clearly the enclosed publications as to title, place of
publication, and date of issue; show the method of transmittal
of the evidence to the Bureau; and indicate the desired disposition
of the evidence,
Calling attention of Bureau to publications of security interest
When a field office obtains an evidentiary copy of a publication which
it desires to call to the Bureau's attention, a Letter should be
addressed to the Bureau to that end. Title, author, publisher, and the
general nature should be very briefly set forth, together with the identi-~

informative, not requiring an answer... A nonevidentiary duplicate copy
of that publication should be enclosed with the letter, if readily
available, If a nonevidentiary copy is not readily available, that
fact should be stated in the letter. If the Bureau desires to

obtain a nonevidentiary duplicate copy of the publication for review,
efforts will be made to obtain it through the appropriate field office.

approved for the commitment by the SAC or ASAC. Good judgment should
dictate when a manuscript should be submitted to FBIHQ for approval in
advance of a speaking engagement, particularly in regard to radio and
television appearances.
2e It is not necessary to advise FBIHQ of each speaking engagement. Each
. office will maintain for a minimum of one year and one regular office
inspection a control file in connection with acceptances and declinations

“ of speech invitations. Hach year on January 10th and on July 10th.
each office will submit to FBIHQ a statistical report of speaking
commitments handled. This will be divided into engagements by the SAC,
the ASAC, and other Agent Supervisors; and will be further subdivided
into speeches as well as radio, television, and Career Day appearances
by these three groups. [In addition, identify the 10 most important
speeches given during the 6-month period covered by the report and
indicate who gave them.

3. Each office should maintain a speech material file for the use of speakers.
This should include Law Enforcement Bulletin items, interesting case
material, magazine articles, research literature, newspaper clippings
pertaining to law enforcement matters of interest, and items of value in
connection with public appearances of Bureau representatives. In addition
to being maintained in current status, this speech material should be
indexed as to subject matter in the office files.

BUREAU-WIDE INFORMATION PROGRAM REGARDING MATTERS OF NATIONAL INTEREST
This program is coordinated by the External Affairs Division and is-devoted
primarily to supplying SACs facts regarding current happenings, including
both administrative and investigative developments, that are topics of
nationwide press coverage and public interest.

All such communications to SACs bear the caption "BUREAU-WIDE INFORMATION
PROGRAM" and are in the form of either teletypes or airtels, dependent upon
the exigencies of the situation.

The purpose of this program is to assure that each SAC possesses the key
facts concerning important happenings anywhere within the FBI that command
widespread public interest. Information furnished to SACs under this program
should prove helpful to them, as well as to othér FBI personnel, in answer-
ing questions, correcting misunderstandings, and'-dispelling false rumors

that may exist either within or without the ranks of the FBI. In some
instances, however, the information may be of such a nature that it cannot

be disclosed in whole or in part to outsiders. In fact, occasionally it is
necessary to restrict discussion and disclosure of the information even within
FBIHQ and field offices. Guidelines furnished on each communication should
be strictly followed.

FBIHQ and field office personnel should promptly bring to the attention ‘of
the External Affairs Division all current items and developments that they
feel merit consideration for inclusion under this Programs

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han-
aling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts
that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
.- the incident bs either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state-
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of
the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized.
10. Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in (case file and press
release file if exists.
{ll. In connection with service awards to Bureau personnel, SACs may provide
news media with a photograph and a brief bicgraphical sketch of employee,
No employee may submit to a personal interview by a newsman in connection
with such an award or under any other circumstances, for that matter,
without prior Bureau authority. This does not preclude an SAC or other
Bureau official from issuing news releases in accordance with existing

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious hasis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further: assist them by han~-
dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts
that may indicate any Federal violation. At'no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident ba either assumed or daclared, The issuance of this state-
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the

Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of

the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized,

Submission of publications of security interest to the Bureau

ae

General principle governing submissions

The Bureau desires to receive publications of security interest at the

SOG for purposes of information, research, and intelligence. Conse~-

quently, it is requested that evidentiary copies of publications be

retained in the field and only nonevidentiary copies be forwarded to

the Bureau by routing slip.

Manner of handling and. forwarding nonevidentiary copies of publica-

tions

(1) Nonevidentiary copies of newspapers, magazines, journals,
periodicals, news bulletins, and books, obtained regularly
(by subscription or repeated purchase ) and forwarded to the
Bureau, need not be identified as to source. They should be
submitted via ofdinary mail by routing slip (marked for the
attention of the Central Research Unit) unless transmittal
by cover letter has been specifically requested, Routing slips
may be used to notify the Bureau of routine administrative
matters, such as. temporary suspension of a publication {e.g.,
during summer months, lack of funds), temporary delay in obtaining
or receiving particular issues of a publication, or other informa-
tion which will keep the Bureau informed relative to the status
of these publications. To avoid confusion, nonevidentiary copies
which have been marked for identification (source, Agent, date,
and place of acquisition) should be further annotated: "Not
Evidence."

Letters should be used in connection with initiating action or
ceasing action to obtain publications desired by the Bureat; to
call to the attention of the Bureau specific items of information
connected with these publications; and in those instances in
which good judgment dictates that certain circumstances or
information should be recorded in letter form.

(2) Hach SAC and each legal'attache must keep the Bureau, attention
Central Research’ Unit, informed on a current basis regarding
publications (including books) of potential interest that are
not included in the current list of publications which is
supplied periodically to the field and to the legal attaches.
These publications would include those published by subjects
of security or counterintelligence investigations and publications
which may otherwise have a security or counterintelligence
significance, ”

(3) Bach SAC and each legal attache should insure that the handling
of publications for which his office is responsible is being
given adequate supervision at all times, Subscriptions to these
publications should be followed closely to insure that the
publications are received at the Bureau on a current basis. The
Bureau should be advised of the expiration date of the subscrip-
tion to each publication in sufficient time to enable the
Bureau to determine the necessity for renewal.

in which good judgment so dictates, Emergency on-the-spot statements by
Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the’ identity of (
fugitive or criminal in. gun battle, If badly wanted fugitive apprehended
in remote area and SAG absent, Agent may, in rare emergency only and where
time of essence, furnish bare details. Contact by SAC with press should
be effected immediately where press desires further details: . ‘
In the normal process of issuing press releases,[either local or national,
SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances for television and radio,
provided no interviews are conducted and there.is absolutely uo elaboration
over and above the original press release, These conditions should be made
known in advance to television and radio station representatives when such
requests are received, ]
In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should. ever suggest
or request a reporter or another representative of a newspaper or similar
publication to withhold the publication of news. In the event that special
Circumstances do exist, it will be necessary to clear with the Bureau prior
to making any such request.
In cases involving bombings haying an apparent racial or “religious basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureauts full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by handling
out~—of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts that
mey indicate any Federal violation. At no time-should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state—
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of
the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized.
Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press

Requesting authority for release
a. By teletype
At least four hours before the time of release, developments in the
case, an outline of the release, and statement release will be made
UACB are to be furnished the Bureau.
db. By telephone where: time.is of essence
Confer with division head having supervision of the matter for
investigative clearance and with the office of the division head of
the Crime Records Division for final press clearance. While good
judgment must prevail, in important cases in which a local newspaper
deadline is approaching, it may be advisable to telephone the Bureau
for clearance,
Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAC or in his absence
by the ASAC.
Releases are to be made both at headquarters and the local area affected
by developments, All material prepared for the public must be reviewed
word for word. It is not to contain words or phrases which might be
regarded as objectionable or offensive to a member of any race, creed, or
religious sect, Thorough advance planning should be utilized’ wherever
possible, and all press releases should be coordinated to eliminate .any
avoidable delays.
In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the public interest,
no statement should be put in an announcement to the press to the effect’
that a subject either has confessed or has admitted his crimes without
specific Bureau approval. In case of doubt, consult the Bureau. When
the fact that a subject has given a Gonfession is included in a complaint
and an inquiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment" reply should
be given. The complaint is a court record and must be left to speak for
itself. .
On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations

-in which good judgment so dictates, Emergency on-the-spot statements by -

Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of
fugitive or criminal in gun battle. If badly wanted fugitive apprehended
in remote area and SAG absent, Agent may, in rare emergency only and where
time of essence, furnish bare details. Contact by SAC with press should

be effected immediately where press desires further details.

In the normal process of issuing press releases,leither local or national,
SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances for television and radio,
provided no interviews are conducted and there is absolutely no elaboration
over and above the original press release, These conditions should be made
known in advance to television and radio station representatives when such
requests are received. ]

In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never suggest
or request a reporter or another ‘representative of a newspaper or similar
publication to withhold the publication of news. In the event that special
circumstances do exist, it will be necessary to clear with the Bureau prior
to making any such request.

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement.to

‘the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to

actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureauts full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by handling
out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts that:
may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for.
the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state—
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of

the incident 50 a prompt statement can be authorized.

Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press

Submission of publications of security interest to the Bureau,

a.

General principle governing submissions .§ -- . . : “t
The Bureau desires to receive publications of seourity interest at the “Ow
SOG for purposes of information, research, and intelligence, Conse~
quently, it is requested that evidentiary copies of publications be
retained in the field and only- nonevidentiary copies be. forwarded to
the Bureau by routing slip.- | “
Manner of handling and forwarding nonevidentianry copies of publica—
tions
(1) Nonevidentiary copies of newspapers, magazines, ‘journals,
periodicals, news bulletins, and books, obtained regularly
(by subscription or repeated purchase) and forwarded to the
Bureau, need not be identified as to source. They should be
submitted via ordinary mail by routing slip (marked for the
attention of the Central Research Section ) unless transmittal
by cover letter has been specifically requested. Routing slips
may be used to notify the Bureau of routine administrative
matters, such as temporary suspension of a publication (e.g
during summer months, lack of funds), temporary delay in seidaning
or receiving particular issues of a publication, or other informa—
tion which will keep the Bureau informed relative to the status
of these publications. ,To avoid confusion, nonevidentiary copies
which have been marked for identification (source, Agent, date,
and place of acquisition) should be further annotated: "Not
Evidence." coe

-—

Letters should be used in connection with initiating-action or
ceasing action to obtain publications desired by the Bureaus to
‘call to the attention of the Bureau specific items of information
connected with these publications; and in those instances in
which good judgment dictates that certain circumstances or
information should be recorded in letter form.

(2) Each SAC and each legal attache must keep the Bureau, attention
Central Research Section, informed on a current basis regarding
publications (including pooks) of potential interest that are
not included in the current list of publications which is
supplied periodically to the field and to the legal attaches.
These publications would include those published by subjects
of security or counterintelligence investigations and publications
which may otherwise have a security or counterintelligence
signifi¢ance. :

(3) Bach SAC and each legal attache should insure that the handling
of publications for which his office is responsible is being
given adequate supervision at all times. Subscriptions to these
publications should be followed closely to insure that the -
publications are received at the Bureau on a current basis. The
Bureau should be advised of the expiration date of the subscrip—
tion to each publication in sufficient time to enable the .
Bureau to determine the necessity for renewal. . f

cutive opinion rather than being presentod locally to USAs.

They ordinarily involve the execution of U. &. Government forwhs.

of these organizations as subject for indicia.of his membership,
such as attendance at closed meetings, payment of dues, holding

General . oo:
Purpose of top furncticnary program is fo select for special
attention those individuals in a subversive movement who are
of outstanding importance to the effectiveness cf the movement.

Top fLunctionary program is desoribea below as pertaining to

the Communist Party, USA. However, it also applies to important +
individuals active in or on behalf of other basis revolutionary 2.
groups, subversive organizations, or unorganized groups who %
have indicated 2 propensity for violence. . :
Defini a of top functiouary g
A top functionsry is an individual, weinber or a &
momember of the Communist Party, sause of his a
importance, it is necessary to give cor ae investigative
attention im order to keep abreast of communism on 2 ' a
national basis in the U. S, WNecassarily, such an individual ms

applies to an individual, either a member or a nonmembor
of othor subversive organigations or unorganized groups,
who would be on a high policy levol in the movement.

The term "top functionary™ is not to be ¢onstrued as re-
‘quiring that individuals in this category must actually,
hold official positions in the organizations but shall .
be given a brozd enough construction to include others who - -
are of equal importance because of their influence in the

the party in labor, front, or similar organizations or
movements. Black nationalist extremists whese importance
justifies continuous investigative attention should be .
considered for designation as tep functionaries. ws
Manner of designation of top functionary : st

as a tun Puuctionary. Submit such racommendation to Bureau ~ - me
by Lettor containing reasons for tho recommendation. | Bureau ~ wri

.,, @e Communist Party; USA
By Presidential directive on 9-6-39, and subsequent restatements
(see section 102, volume IV, cf. this manual), this Bureau is charged
with the responsibility of coordinating all information with regard .
to the internal security of the U. S. Since 1939, a large portion
_ of the Bureau's security investigations has been directed toward
a coverage of the activities of communists and other groups whose
aims seek the overthrow of the U. S. Government. ‘he Communist
Party, USA, is the best organised and most dangerons from a security
standpoint. The party is not an isolated or purely domestic orgen-
ization but is part of an international communist movement led and
dominated by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the ultimate
‘aim of which is to establish a world-wide communist state. The
Communist Party, USA, bases its theory on the principles of Marzism-
Leninism. (Considerable evidence shows that these principles Look
toward the violent overthrow of the U. S. Gevernment or its downfall
in the event of a war with the Soviet Union.) It would be a grave
error to suppose that, because the party is actually and potentially
small, it is not dangérous. .The contemplated role of the party is
such that it can be played best by an organization which is cchesive,
: . @asily mobilized, highly maneuverable, fanatically zealous, well
: . @isciplined, and immediately responsive in an emergency to.the demands
‘ of its leaders, The highest authority in the Communist Party, USA,
is the national convention which meets approximately once every two
yoars, Between these conventions, the nationnal.committee is the
highest authority of the party. . eo

The Communist @. USA, is divided into aistr® and state
organizations, tren into county, city, section, and club
organizations, The number and nature of these subdivisions
are dependent on the number of members in the various localities,
Byvery party member must belong to a party club.

The Gommunist Party strategy and policy is based primarily on the
loyal support and defense of the Soviet Union, The party Line
changes from time to time cepending upon the current program of,
the international communist movement.

be Socialist Workers Party
The Socialist Workers Party was founded at a convention held in
Chicago, Illinois, from 12-31-37 to 1-3-38, The present head—- .
quarters are located at 116 University Place, New York 3, New York.
The following statements are taken from the "Declaration of Principles
and Constitution of the Socialist-Workers Party" which was adopted
at this convertion:

. a

."fhe purpose of the party is set forth in its declaration of . 7
.principles: Its purpose shall be to educate and organize the working 27
class for the abolition of capitalism and the establishment of . :

. & workers government to achieve Socialism." (From article 11 under “oo
the caption "Purpose."

. "Ye call upon all revolutionary militants to join with us to build

the SWP into the mass revolutionary party which will lead the work= - y

ing class of the United States to power; and which, together with : : :

- . the revolutionists of all countries united in the Pourth International, .
“ee will achieve the victory of the international revolution and of world
see, Socialism," . . r

-"*The main specific task of the SWP is the mobilization of the fmerican
masses for struggle against American Capitalism, and for its over— *
throwesee" (Part III of above pamphlet)

Shortly after the Fourth International was founded in Switgerland on
9-3~38, the Socialist Workers Party inthe U. S. announced that it
was the “American Section" of the “world party of the Socialist
revolution” (Fourth International), At a special convention‘on
12-21-40, the Socialist Workers Party passed a resolution ending

its organizational connection with the Fourth International (because
of the passage of the Voorhis Act}.

Fhis organization follows the Marxis t-Leninis t—Trotskyist dine,
Statements made by functionaries indicate that in the event of war
between the U, S, and the Soviet Union, the Socialist Workers Party
would defend the latter,

‘this fact should be indicated by placing the word "tentative" after °

Following the organizational breakdown, each‘office should critically
appraise its knewledge of the Communist Party organization within its
division and set forth its comments and retommendations concerning
investigative activity to be undertaken to eliminate any weaknesses
detected. In those instances in which the disolosed weakness is that
of lack of adequate informant coverage, advise in detail of the

number of Bureau-approved potential security informants being developed
in the particular area, as well as concrete plans to obtain additional
informant coverage in the future,

Bach survey should contain a statement that all persons identified as
members of the Communist Party are Listed in the security index, or are
informants or sources. Any exceptions should be named and a statement
made as to whether the mane has previously been furnished to the Bureau
for indexing. The status of the investigation of each person listed
should be shown. ,

{i} PhysidM@l description

Obtain and report a detailed physical doscription,.
During the course of the initial investigation in any
security-type case, including espionage and nationalistic
tendency cases, the physical characteristics and descrip—
tion of the subject shall be determined or verified by
personal observation, It is not necessary to observe
personally the subject of any case where preliminary
investigation determines the basis for opening the

case is unfounded,

The subject should be personally observed, if possible,’
early in the investigation after it is determined that

a complete investigaticn is warranted to develop the
extent of a subject's subversive activities and to
consider whether the subject's name should be added to
the security index, This action should be taken in the
course of developing background information to determine
‘the true identity and existence of the subject and to
assist in establishing that the subject of the investi~
gation is the person againz= whom the subversive .
allegations .have been made, Each subject should be
personally observed whenever a complete security investi-
gation is conducted even though a security ine card

is not being recommended at the completion of th
investigation,

Do not delay the submission of form FD-122 recommending

the addition of a subjectfs name to the security index

éven though it has not been possible to observe personally

the subject if it has been determined through investigation .
- that the subject is dangerous or potentielly dangerous,

If a security index card is not being recommended after
all logical investigation has been conducted and it has
not been possible to observe personally the subject during
the investigation, the case may be closed even though
this hes not been done, If a security index card has

teen possibie
to per: : «-Llly observe the subject, the wise coh Ll remain
open i:'.4 such time as the subject is person. ily observed,
except \2n it has been determined that the subject
is residing ovt.i:de the U. S. or Puerto Rico, in which
event the case 27 be closed if there is no other
pending investi.-tion and the matter should be followed
administrativel: to be certain that the subject is
personally observed upon his ‘return to this country,

(k) Photesgraph |

Reasonable efforts should be made during the investigation
of a setvurity subject to obtain a photograph of the
subject threigh usual sources,

Cases on security index subjects are to be maintained
ina pending status until such time as a snitable
photograph is obtained unless circumstances dictate
otherwise, in which case the Bureau should be advised.
Once a photograph has been obtained, continue to be .
alert for the existence of more recent photographs which
may become available.

Do not, forward a copy of the photograph to the Bureau
unless the subject has been designated aftop functionary.]

Proof that the subject has such knowledge of the revolu-
tionary purposes of ‘the organization may be existent in
several forms, several of which are discussed belcw:
Ee Direct admissible evidence, such as statements made by
the subject, or by responsible officials’ of the subversive
organization in the subject's presence at organizational
classes or meetings expounding the organization's
doctrine in which the necessity or advisability of using’
force or violence in the overthrow of the Government
is asserted, should be obtained, if eat all possible.

- . a - Occasionally, statements of this nature are available in
. ot the subject's writings, sometimes in an indirect or

While none of the above types of evidence may be of sufficient
value alone, 2 combination of a number of. them may constitute
- convincing proof, :
7 . " F$ should be remembered that the revolutionary purposes of
a subversive organization are frequently cloaked in veiled
7 language or in J-7aguage significant only to persons familiar
“with Marxist or revolutionary terminology, Such obscure
Statements should not be ignored, but should be fully reported
as it may be possible in- legal proceedings to bring ont the
significance of such statements through expert witnesses,
the testimony of informants, or the introduction of literature ed
‘elarifying them, Confidential informants and other sources sé
should be carefully interrogated and files thoroughly
reviewed for the purpose of developing all revolutionary
statements, In such instances, complete deteils should be
obtained, together with all corroborating evidence, The
names of all persons present when such statements are made
Should be ascertained and the facts reported in the individual
case file of the person making the statenent and of all |
. persons present when the statement was made. The circum-
err Ss “+> " stances under which the statement was made should, of course,

V£I. The request for Bureau authority for the interview
shauld be set forth in the first paragraph of the letter

paragraph should contain the following statements:

"Bureau authority is requested to interview subject in

Subject no longer dangerous or potentially dangerous
Instructions s out below should be read. in conjunction .
with 67D 6b (7) (c) herein relating to interviews with
security index subjects,

Frequently, after a subject is included in the security index,
information is received or investigation develops information
indicating that, he is no longer a threat to the internal
seourity by reason of[physical condition, Jdefection or ex~
pulsion from the subversive movement, membership in or affilia~
tion with which was the reason for placing him in the security
index. Such defection may be shown by lack of activity

and obvious disinterest over an extended period of time

or upon declaration of opposition to the. principles of

the subversive movement, ‘the latter may manifest itself in
declarations by a subject in the presence of confidential
informants or other sources, statements to the press, or
actual contact with Bureau representatives and admission

of previous subversive activity.

When sufficient information is at hand regarding subject's.
present sympathies to reach conclusion that he should no
longer be scheduled for apprehension as a dangerous subver—
Sive, request authority to interview subject or advise
Bureau of reasons why subject should not de interviewed,
Bureau will not cancel security index card without cons ider—
ation being given to interview of subject, See 87D 6b (7)
(c) and (a).

If, upon interview, subject proves cooperative to extent

that his security index card should be canceled, afvise
Bureau by. letter of results together with a recommendation
for cancellation which must be approved by Bureau,

Subjects removed from security index solely upon basis of
application of security inflex criteria, with no affirmative
indication of defection . :

As security index cases are reviewed upon reopening in the
field, there will be instances in which removal will be re~
quired by application of the : :ourity index criteria: set out
in 87D 7b (3). With the passage of time, limits specified
in criteria will operate to remove. certain subjects even
though there is no affirmative ‘indication of defection,

Letters recommending removal of a subject's name from
the ‘security index should be accompanied by form FD-~122a
if facts in the case warrant the inclusion of subjectts
mame in section A of the reserve index. >
The following procedures showld be followed in the case

_ (1) . General

Purpose of top functionary program is to select for special
attention those individuels in a subversive movement who ars
of outstanding importance to the effectiveness of the

. movement. , ‘

‘{ oe Top functionary program is described below as pertaining to . .
| the Comnunist Party, USA. However, it also applies to important ooo
individuals active in or on behalf of other basic revolutionary
groups, [subversive organizations, or unorganized groups who ” ~
. have indicated a propensity for violence, ]
(2) [Deleted] .
(3) Definitionfof top functionary] "
. A top functionary is an individual, either a member or a
: nonmember of the Communist Party, to whom, because of his
importance, it is necessary to give continuous investigative
- - attention in order to keep abreast of communism on a
national basis in the U. S. Necessarily, such an individual:
would be on a high policy level in the movement. [This also
. '  -* applies to. an individual, either a member or a nonmember
of other subversive organizations ar unorganized groups,
who would be on a high policy ievel in the movement. ]

(oe I eet Looe nen

The term “top functionary" is not ta be construed as re~-
quiring that individuals in this category must act
i . . hold official positions in{the Jorganizations but
be given a broad enough construction to include others who
are of equal importance because of their influence in the
movement itself, or their position and activities outside
the party in labor, front, or similar organizations or
‘movements, Black nationalist extremists whose importance
justifies continuous investigative atsention should be
: . . / considered for designation as top functionaries.
tI. _ (4) Manner of designation[of top functionary] ‘
: 7 Prior Bureau authority necessary to designate a subject
: as a top functionary. Submit such recommendation to Bureau
by letter containing reasons for the recommendation. Bureau
desires te be very selective in this matter and to concentrate
on individuals who, on a national basis, are the: guiding

ments. Top functionaries are to be included in priority I

In the case individual subject of prior investigation wh

is currently being resommonded for the ysesaiity duden, ae hau
disseminate prior reports: However, prepare a letterhea

memorandum including vertinent information previously developed
which should be disseminated to Secret Service, together w 3

the current report, Copies of this Letterhead memorandéum

should be forwarded to the Bureau for dissemination at kead~
quarters level, , . "8

After initial dissemination to Secret Service in security

index cases, as changes occur in the status of the individuals
involved with respect to residence and employment, advise Secret
Service Locally and furnish two copies of the Letterhead
tWemorandum to the Bureau for dissemination at the SOG. Forn
FD-366 may be used for this purpose. The letterhead memorandum

“should contain a reference to the previous communication dissem-

inated to Secret Service.

When reporting changes in residence and/or employment concerning
Chirsse and Cuban aliens on the security index, in addition to
diss .uination to Secret Service, also advise the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) locally, and furnish four copies of
the Letterhead memorandum to the Bureau for dissemination at the
SOG, Bear in mind in filling out the'‘reference that some letterhead
memoranda have been expressly prepared for dissemination to,
Secret Service only and have not: been furnished to the
Department or INS; therefore, the copy furnished INS locally
and. two of the copies furnished the Buréau should reference

the last communication tc INS, .

For instructions pertaining to dissemination to Secret Service
in other than security index cases, refer to section 1343,
volume IV, of this manual.

Upon transfer of office of origin in one of these cases, the
old office of origin is to furnish Secret Service locally with
the subject's new residence and business eddress and advise the
Bureau that such has been done by the submission of two copies
of the Letterhead memorandum disseminated locally. The new
office of origin need take no action regarding dissemination to
Secret Service until such time as’further changes occur with
respect to the sndject's status or until ‘preparation of the next
periodic report in the case. - _
Dissemination at the Bureau :
There are some situations in which dissemination is made at the
Bureau instead of in the field. In the-majority of instances,
information received by the FBI should preperly be furnished
immediately to some other agency within the executive branch of
the Government so that the responsibilities of the other agency
might be fulfilled properly. Care must be taken, however, not
to disseminate information to any field branch of another
Government agency where such.a procedure is deemed inadvisasle
because Of the inadequacy of security measures in that branch,
In these instances the data should be brought to the immediate
attention of the I Bureau for dissemination at the SOG. An ~
example of the latter is,’ oF course, the Atomic Tnergy Commission,

SECL j.87. SECURITY INVESTIGATION. e

The Communist Party, USA, is 4ivided into district and state
organizations, then into county, city, section, and club
organizations, The number and nature of these subdivisions

are dependent on the number of members in the various localities.
Every party memter must belong to a party club.

The Communist Furty strategy and policy is based primarily on the
loyal support and defense of the Soviet Union, The party line

changes from time to time depending upon the current program-:-of

the international communist movement. .

. Socialist Workers Party

“fhe Socialist Workers Party was founded at a convention held in
Chicago, Illinois, from 12-31-37 to 1-53-38, The present head-
quarters are located at 116 University Place, New York 3, New York.
The following statements are taken from the "Declaration of Prizciples
and Constitution of the Socialist Workers Party" which was adopted

at this convention: . .

"The purpose of the party is set forth in its declaration of
principles: Its purpose shall be to educate and organize the working
cliss for the abolition of capitalism and the establishment of

a, workers, .gaveryment to achieve Socialism," (From article 11 under
the caption "PUPPOSe. ")

wie 3 all “poa all Fevoluticnary: malitanes to- join with us to ‘build
“the SWP into the mass revolutioqnary party which will lead the work-
ing class of- the United States to-power; and which, together with

will act.” .ve the victory of the international revolution and. of world
Socialis. .% .

"The main sre eitie task of the SWP is the mobilization.of the American
masses for .-uggle agains”. American Capitalism, - and for its over—
" throweese! 5. ‘art, TILT of ateve- pamphlet): 2 2...

Shortly after the Four?’ International was founded in Switzerland on
9-3-38, the Socialist “.-:kers Party inthe U., S. announced that it
‘was the “American Seci':n" of -the “world party of the Socialist
. «+2 .revyolution” (Peurth Inigrnational).. At a speciel convention on.
. 12--21-40., the Socialist Workers Party passed a resolution ending
‘its organizational connection-with the Fourth Tn aternational (because.
-- | .of the passage of the .Voorhis- Act)’. -

This organization ~.llows the > rxis t~Leninist—Trotskyist line,
Sts°oments made b, Fuanctionarics indicate that in the event of war
be’. gen the U, S, .ad the Soviet Union, — the Socialist Workers Party

. INTE SRNAL SECURITY ac 1950 (PUBLIC LAW 831, 81st Bescsss, CHAPTER 1024.
SECOND SZSSTON) (TITLE 50, USC, 3§ 781-816} [ (PUBLIC LAW 237, SGth CONGRESS )i
The Internal Security Act c? 1950 became effective on 9-23- 50, The act
generally; provides for the sgistration of communist-action and communist
front organizations: amends the obstruction of justice statute; implements
the espiorzge and sabotage statutes and various immigration and naturalization
regulations; prohibits contributing to the establishment of a totalitarian
dictatorship; and provides for the detention of individuals in the case
of an emergency. [It was amended effective 1-2-68 to delete the requirement
that communist organizations and their members register themselves with the
Attorney General, a procedure ruled’unconstitutional by’ the U. S. Supreme
Court on the grounds that such action violated the constitutional rights

against self-incrimination. The amended provisions provide that, upon
petition by the Attorney General, the Subversive Activities Control Board
would hold quasi~judicial hearings and would determine whether the individuals
and organizations cited were communist. The Subversive Activities Control
Board would instruct the Attorney General to maintain a ‘public list of indi- -
viduals’ found to be members of communist-action organizations and of groups . 4
found to be communist-action, communist front, or communist-infiltrated
organizations. J : :

SECOND SESSIGN) (TITLE Y™, USC, §§ 841-244) .
The Comaunist Control Act of 1954 became effective on 8-24-54, when the legis-—
lation was signed inte law by the President. The act is divided into three
measures: (1) termination of rights, privileges, and immunities formerly en-
Joyed by * ute Communist Party and Subsidiary orfanizations, (2) determining
membership in the Communist Party, USA, and other subversive groups, and (3)
amendment te the Internal Security Act of 1950 bringing within its purview

- Commpnist—infiltrated organizations, ”

I, Terminating rights, privileges, and immunities
Title 50, USC, § 842, provides "The Communist Party of the United States,
or any Successors of such party regardless of the assumed name, whose
object or purpose is to overthrow the Government of the United States, or
the government of any State, Territory, District, or possession thereof,
or the government of any political subdivision therein by force and vio~
lence, are not entitled to any of the rights, privileges aud immunities
attendant upon legal bodics ..svated under the jurisdiction of the laws’ of
-- _ the United States or any political subdivision thereof; and whatever
rights, priviteges and immunities which have heretofore been granted to
sai¢ party cs . ty subsidiary organization by reason of the laws of the
United States -r any political subdivision thereof, are hereby terminated:
Provided, however, That nothing in this section shall be construed as_
amending the internal Security Act of 1950, .as amended,”

4 The. Department. has advised that the. purpose of this. provision is not to.

‘1+ t,s constitute the Cammunist Party.an illegal ‘organizetion so-es ‘to’ make’:
meve-memhership a criminal offense, punishable as a misdemeanor or felony.
“Rather, it was intended by Congress, and the statute's ‘effect is,

vmerely to strip, “the party of rights, privileges, and ir under
Federal law + an alleged political party and in other 2 without
affecting it. suenability 1 to the Taternal Security. hot or 1950, as amended.
No pe articular enforcement measures are provided for upler this section.
the forums where this provision will most likely be t:sted are various

‘administrative’ agenéies of the U,S. and its politica ‘ubdivisions. .fhis

. section may also result in civil litigation in U.S. G strict courts, ~
possibly in the nature of Mandamus y injunction, Quo vorvanto and scire.

The question as to what "rights, pri vileges and im maunities" the Communist
_ Party’ heretofore has enjoyed and’ now has lost is a legal question which
eto must be decided on the merits.of cach individael-‘cases; The Department
has advised that it does not contemplate initiating any action per se
_ under this section of the act and will leave to the interested Govern
ment. agency involved the decision of initiating civil action to terminate
“the rights, privileges and immunities formerly en3oycd by the Communist
Party, USA. The Department has suggested that the following types of
information be v:.warded:to the interested Government agency by the
Burcau for its isformation and consideration under this act. The Depart
ment desires to be advised of this referral for its information only,

At Bureau - .
The entire security index is maintained at the Bureau
through the utilization of IBM tabulating cards. The
white 5— by 8-inch security index cards are printed by this

‘machine and transmitted to the field, Through the use

of this device, the security index can be broken down
into the various categories of information appearing on

the security index cards when such breakdowns become necessary
_for administrative purposes at the Bureau, This procedure

makes it possible to maintain the content of the security
index in the field and at the Bureau in an identical con-

dition at all times.

An alphabetical breakiown of the true names and all aliases
of security index subjects is alse maintained at the Sureau
for administrative purposes,

7S. a
there also are a few smal] groups composed of ex-members of the : 7
Communist Party, USA, who have voluntarily lefi the party or who —
have been expelled, usually for factionezlism, “
General

Communist investigations must be conducted in a most discreet and
thorough manner at all times. Members of law enforcement agencies
are not to accompany Agcnts during the course of security-type
-ainvestigations without prior Bureau authority. Pureau comployees
should not discuss communist or related investigations with any
unauthorived individual, The subject of communism is not to be
‘, used in speeches of Bureau employees without specific authorization.
However, there is considerable mimeo graphed material in each office,
‘s gneluding speeches, testimony,and magazine articles prepared by the
| Director which could be furnished outside individuals interested in
the subject of communism without any discussion, , .
2. Purposes :
The investigation of the Communist Party, USA, and other similar—type
organizations is of twofold purpose: (1) to obtain legally admissible
evidence against these organizations for prosecution under existing
Federal statutes set out above and (2) to follow closely the activities
of these organizations from an intelligence viewpoint to have a day-
to-day appraisal of the strength, dangerousness, and activities of
these organizations seeking the overthrow of the U. S, Government,
Suggestions for proper coverage of the investigation of the Communist
Party as an organization and similar organizations shovld include:

Gluesion of a name in security index, attach additional

page or pages setting out a succinct summary of facts on
which recomaendation has been based. Facts must be in
detail to clearly show soundness of recommendation.

tain pertinent dates of subject's activities.

mitted which are suitable for dissemination and are
appropriately documented, a summary report need not be
submitted. ed

. receive proper attention, case shall be kept in pending or

pending—inactive status until security index card has been
received from Bureau and filed in office security index.

ization of security index card by the Bureau and if approved

ommendation for the card should: be submitted with a cutrent
report and case retained in pending status with active

index cases, as changes escur in the status of the individuals
involved with respect tc residence: and employment, advise Secret
Service lecally and furnish two copies of the letterhead
memorandum to the Bureau for dissemination at the SOG. Form
FD-366 may be used for this purpose. The letterhead memorandum
should contain 2 reference to the previous communication dissem—"
inated to Seeret Service.

When reporting changes in residence and/or employment concerning.
Chinese and Cuban aliens on the security index, in addition to
dissemination to Secret Service, also advise the Immisgfration and
Naturalization Service (INS) locally, and furnish four copies of
the letterhead memorandum to the Bureau for dissemination at the

we SOG. Bear in mind in filling out the reference that some[ letterhead]

memorangds have been expressly prepared for dissemination to
Secret: Service only and have not been furnished to the
Department or INS; therefore, the copy furnished INS locally
‘and two-of the copies furnished the Bureau should reference
the last communication to INS.

For instructions pertaining to dissemination to Secret Service
in other than security index cases, refer to ‘section 83x,
volume III, of this manual. ‘

Upon transfer of office of origin in one of these cases, the
old. office cf origin is to furnish Secret Service locally with
the subjectts new residence and business address and advise the
Bureau that such has been done by the submission of two sopies
of the letterhead memorandum disseminated locally. The new
office of origin need take no action regarding dissemination to
Secret Service until such time as further changes occur with
respect to the subject's status[or until preparation of the next
pericdic report in the case.]. :

*(10) Dissemination at the Bureau . : _

. There are some situations in which dissemination is made at the
Bureau instead of in the field. In the majority of instances,
information received by the FBI showld properly be furnished
immediately to some other agency within the executive branch of

_: the Government so that the responsibilities of the other agency
might be fulfilled properly. Care must be taken, however, not
to disseminate information to anj field branch of *another
Government’ agency where such a procedure is deemed inadvisable
because of the inadequacy of security measures in that branch.
In these instances the data should be brought to the immediate
attention of the Bureau for dissemination at the SOG. An
example of the latter is, cf course, the Atomic Energy Commission,
which receives. reports only through the Bureau, as noted in
section 87D 7c (3) of this mammal. Information relating to
foreign travel plans of security subjects is disseminated
‘to interested ugencies, including the State Department, only
at the SOG, as set out in 87D 6b (4). Dissemination is also
~--made at the SOG to the State Department, unless it appears
‘undesirable, in those cases in which subjects have been
“indicted for violations grounded on subversive activities,
- Dissemination in these cases is made to preclude these subjects

- from utilizing the fact they obtained a passport to refute
allegations of subversive connections. The State Department,
therefore, will be in possession of data concerning a defendant
should he attempt to utilize this tactic in such an action.

b. Data developed concerning individuals who are not within the Bureau's
investigative jurisdiction .
(1) Members of the armed forces
The Delimitaticns Agreement between the FBI and the armed forces
( intelligence agencies states that the responsibility assumed by
. one organization in a’given field carries with it the obligation
to exchange freely and directly with other subscribing organizations
all information of mutual interest.

Thus, in discharging our basic responsibilities in the internal
security ficld, it is imperative that information coucerning members
of the militery servicer be referred immediately to the anpro—
priate branch having primary responsibility for its personnel.
This procedure is mandatory, even though the security aspects of, : *
, the data have not been fully resolved or verified. It should .
be specifically pointed owt in such instances that the infor—
mation has not been verified.
Section 87D 5b of this manual instructs that if it is determined
a security subject is a member of the armed services the investi- “.%
gation must at that point be discontinued immediately and reported :
to the Bureau, The basis for such instruction lies in the fact
that the subject is no longer within our investigative juris—-
diction, In addition, dissemination of pertinent reports must
be made locally in the field to the appropriate intelligence
aAgencys

‘Our responsibility with regard to military personnel is not con-
fined io those whe have been the subjects of security inves ti-
gations, It extends to any subversive derogatory data developed
against a member of the armed services during any of our investi-~
fetions of either individuals or organizations. For instance,

3f it is determined that a member of the armed forces has been

in contact with a security subject or with ony individual or group
raising security implications, the apprepriate intelligence

service should be immediately advised locally. This should be

done even though the security aspects of the contact have not been
resolved, so that the military services may be it a position to dis-—
charge their. responsibilities, It must be pointed out to them %
specifically in such ins tances that the data are unverified, :
and pertinent developments must be transmitted to them thereafter
“immediately upon receipt. .

Sato Dat.

we aa ey ae

Section 87D 6b (1) (h) provides that during the course of security
investigations it must be determined whether the subjects have
any close relatives in the armed forces. Our responsibilities Z
require that such associations be called to the attention of the F
‘appropriate military intelligence services, together with per—
tinent data, including reports, on the security subjects involved,
~ ’ fhe evaluation of these associations lies entirely within the
province of the intelligence services, but for the reasons stated
previously herein it is incumbent upon the Bureau to disseminate
this information immediately upon’ receipt,

Any subversive contacts or information adeveleped concerning
military personnel must be set out in a letter to the Bureau,
. together with a statement as to the local dissemination made in
of _ the field. Such letter should be accompanied hy afletterhead]

Diss omination of information to Secret Service regarding plots
against the President

On 2-3-65, an "igreement Between the Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation and the Secret Service Concerning Presidential Protcction"
was signed and became effective. This agreement is set out in
its entirety in section 102, volume IV, of this mammal.

The agreement provides that the FBI, in its investigations of
organizations whose aotivities are inimical to the welfare of
the U. S., will be alert to and promptly notify Secret Service
of any information indicating 2 plot against the person of the
President; thereaftex, it is the responsibility of Secret Service
to initiate such action as is necessary to neutralize such a plot.

The field must be alert during the course of the investigation of
an organization for information indicating a plot against the
person of the President. Upon receipt of such information,
immediately furnish complete details to the nearest office of
Secret Service and appropriate local law enforcement agencies and
advise the Bureau at that time by teletype, or telephone if the
facts warrant, of the information furnished and the fact it has
been so disseminated. An immediate attempt should be made to

verify the information received but no evaluation of the information

should be attempted.

Prepare at once a letterhead memorandum which should include .
complete details disseminated and the identities of the Secret
Service officer and the local law enforcement officers to whom

. given and the date and time of notification. Promptly disseminate

the letterhead memorandum locally to Secret Service and any other
appropriate Government agenoy and furnish sufficient copies’ to
the Bureau for dissemination at the 50G. Thereafter, copies of
all letterhead memoranda and reports concerning the organization
should be disseminated locally to Secret Service on a continuing
basis and extra copies of such communications should be furnished
the Bureau for dissemination at the $0G,

The field should insure that the identities, of the members of the
organigation who are "in" on the plot are determine d.. Background |
information, concerning’ the individuals (see items 1 and 3 of
appendix A to the agreement) should be fully developed and included
in the communications prepared and disseminated to Secret Service.
If such identities and information are known at the time the
initial information is received, they should be included in the
first letterhead memorandum prepared in the matter. ]

of the source, date of activity, date received, and name
of the Agent receiving the information are known, it is
not necessary to request the office originally obtaining
the information to document it further vy furnishing,
information showing the lacation of the original in
the office files. If all documentation, except the
latter item, is not in the possession of the office °
preparing the report, it should be obtaincd.
V..iIf it is found desirable to include in a report the
identities of individuals who are known communists
and have been associates of the subject to lend
weight to evidence of the subjectts potentiat
. . @angerousness, only the source of the information
. showing the associate to be a communist need be
identified.” ;

VI. In a very limited number of instances it may be necessary
to obtain a thumbnail sketch or characterization of an
individual or organization from another office or the
Bureau. When such information is received in your
office, it should be placed in thumbnail sketch files
so that it will be-available to and can be readily
located by Agents having future need for it, thereby
eliminating repeated requests of another office for the

Dissemination of data developed in security investigations
The proper utilization of information received by the Bureau is foremost
among our responsibilities as an investiga’ive agency. It is the Bureauts
duty to keep tHe proper intelligence agenc.es informed concerning infor~
mation of interest to them. Further, information which comes to the
attention of the Bureau in connection with the conduct of investigations
normally and regularly within the jurisdiction of the Bureau, which
information is believed to be of interest to another agency within the
executive branch of the Government, shovld be forwarded to the interested
agency unless there are good and compelling reasons not to do so. This is
in line with the Delimitations Agreement and Presidential directives which
provide for the dissemination to other agencies of information relating
to espionage, sabotage, subversive activities, and related matters where
the specific agency has 2 present or potential interest in the information.

Set out hereafter is a summarization of existing Burean requirements re-
garding dissemination of security information developed on individuals
during the course of regular investigations in the security field, It

Determination of dangerousness of an individual

SET SS me

The dangerousness of a member or affiliate of a subversive
organization does not nevessarily depend entirely upon his
personal characteristics, such as aggressiveness or a @is—
position to violence. Although these factors must be taken
.into consideration in evaluating an individualts potential
dangerousness, other factors are essential in making this
determination, An individualts dangerousness also depends
upon the contribution he has made or is making in the edvance~
ment of the principles and aims of the subversive movement
with which he is connected or his subversive potentialities
in the event of 4 national emergency. Bear in wind that a
subject active in a subversive organization is not merely
an isolated individual but is a part of an organization of
“which the purposes are opposed to the best interests of the
U. S. An individual's loyalty to a su cvrersive ‘organization
and the principles thereof is a primi. factor to take into
consideration in evaluating his pote: :\11 dangerousness; [how
ever, regardless of evidence of subvex-ive affiliation, all
evidence developed during the course cf a security investigation
must be carefully weighed for the purpose of determining
whether the subject's activities depict him as a potentially
dangerous individual in time of a national emergency. Faotors
. having a bearing upon an individual's potential dangerousness
“are numerous and will vary in-each case in degree J]
Among such factors are: :
. I. Long continued membership in a subversive organization
_ XL, Affiliation with or attendance at training schools,
especially leadership schools oy
III. Frequent-.or regular attendance. at organizational meotings
and functions woe
IV. Subscriptions to publications of a subversive organization
Vo" Possession of or continued study of revolutionary Litera—
J ture

VI. Preparation or distribution of subversive propaganda and/or
“literature

‘VII. Holding positions in the subversive organization or in 7

other organizations of a front charascter which indicate
confidence of such organizations in his loya ity

VIII. kEspousal of a subversive doctrine exemplified in his acts

Discretion must be used in those instances in which contact oe

with persons known to the subject is believed desiratle.
Where such contact is contemplated, the Agent should assure
himself of the character, loyalty, and reliability of the person
to ‘be contacted concerning the subject by reviewing the office

wa possibly under pretext, with others to ascertain the character,

In conducting security investigations the necessity of ob—
taining admissible evidence must be continually borne in mind.
However, sources furnishing information of a confidential nature
are valuable and should be continued and enlarged for the pur-
pose of obtaining information which can be -corroborated by

- other sources which can be disclosed, thus rendering the infor-—
mation admissible as evidence,

fhe danger of relying upon evidence from only one confidential

«

informant or other source is obvious and every effort should be
made to obtain evidence from various types of sources and through
various investigative techniques,
( . ; Information obtained from one source should be corroborated s
by contacts with confidential informants, public and private =
{ . sources, through physical and photographic surveillances, es
{ . review of office files, and other sources. Adequate . 3S
' goordination of information received from confidential sources =
with active investigation should be-maintained at all times, For *e
- example, when it is ascertained through one of these sources that x
oa . an important meeting is to occur, the nature of the meeting should
be confirmed if possible by independent sources which can furnish 2
: “evidence of an admissible character, The meeting should be covered 2

by arrangement for attendance by confidential informants to ob-

be placed under physical surveillance, licenses of automobiles
parked near the meeting place noted, and attendants identified,
If possible and advisable, photographic surveilliances should
. be established, Other types of information received from confi-.
a a dential sources should receive similar attention in order that’
oP t - ~ verification may be mage and admissible evidence developed,
° (6) Preservation of evidence
{a) Identify, preserve, and maintain continuity of evidence ob—
tained- with a view to its possible admission in Federal pro~
. ceedings, Identify specifically as to source and date.

. Congress, approved 9-9-5535), prohibits Goverment employment of
~ persons who are disloyel or who assert the right to strike
: against the Government. The law provides that an individual
accepting office or employment in the Government of the U. S,
shall, within 60 days, execute an affidavit certifying that he
does not advocate the violent overthrow of the U, S. Government,
etc, The execution of a false affidavit constitutes a fraud -
on, or attempt to defraud, the Government within the purview ©
of Title 5, USC, § $3, so as to authorize Special Agents of the
Bureau to administer oaths in investigations arising out of this
. law. Alleged violations of this law called to your ettention
should be furnished to the Bureau promptly and no investigation
a should be initiated on the basis of complaints received without
[ pat prior Bureau authority. Refer to section[69HJof this manual
et entitled "Security of Government Employees ~ Fraud Against the
Government“ for procedures to be followed regarding possible
violations of this law discovered or received in connection with
security of Government employees investigations.
(6) Title 18, USC, § 1001, includes possible fraud against the
. Government violations wherein there are concealments or falsifi-
cations relating to subversive informatien. These violations
. must be presented to the Department by the Bureau for a prose—
cutive opinion rather than being presented locally to US&s.
They ordinarily involve the execution of U. S. Goverunent forms,
_Common violators are employees of private concerns having.
Government contracts who execute Government forms required for
clearance for access to classified information, , :
Upon receipt of information indicating a violation of this type,

When information is received through other sources
indicating that unit or mass meetings of subversive organ—
izations are to take place, or clandestine meetings of
certain individuals in a subversive movement are to be
held with other unidentified individuals, physical sur—
veillances should be used when practical to corroborate
such information and further develop details concerning
such meetings; that is, details of action taken-at the
meetings, identification of individuals in-attendance,

and extent of participation of the various individuals
present.

Proper and well~coordinated physical surveillances of ;
various individuals in leadership or underground capacities
of a subversive movement will develop a chain of activity
within the movement, which not only establishes the
importance and position of those individuals directly,
involved but will also serve to identify others wha

may not yet be identified with the movement

(10) Dissemination at the Burezu
: There are some situations in which dissemination is made at the
Bureau instead of in the field. In the majority of instances,
information received by the FBI should properly be furnished
immediately to some other agency within the executive branch of
*. the Govermnent so that the responsibilities of the other agency
might ‘be fulfilled properly. Care must be taken, however, not
to disseminate information to any field branch of-another.
Government agency where such a procedure is deemed inadvisable
because of the inadequacy of security measures in that branch,
In these instances the data should be brought to the immediate
attention of the Bureau for dissemination at the SOG. An :
example of the latter is, of course, the Atomic Energy: Commission,
_which receives reports only through the Bureau, as noted in
section 87D 7c (3) of this mammal. Information relating to
foreign travel plans of security subjects is disseminated -
to interested agencies, including the State Department, only
at the SOG, as set out in 87D 6b (4), Dissemination is also
made at the SOG to the State Department, unless it appears
: 7 undesirable, in those cases in which subjects have been
: “Indicted for violations grounded on subversive activities,
. Dissemination in these cases is made to preclude these subjects
from utilizing the fact they obtained a passport to refute
allegations of subversive connections, The State Department,
therefore, will be in possession of gata concerning a defendant
should he attempt to utilize this tactic in such an action.

B7D -“ SECELON 87, SECURITY INVEST IU. irONS , -

Thus, in discharging our basic responsibilities in the internal
security field, it is imrerative that information coneerning member
of the military services be referred immediately to the anpro—
priate branch having primary responsibility for its personnel.
This procedure is mandatory, even though the security aspects of
the data have not been fully resolved or verified. I% should
be specifically pointed out in such instances that the infor~
-tIration has not been verified. . . .
Section 87D 5b of this manual instructs that if it is determined
a security subject is a member of the armed services the investi-
gation must at that point be discontinued immediately and reported
to the Bureau, The basis for such instruction lies in the fact
that the subject is no longer within our investigative juris—
diction, In addition, dissemination of pertinent reports must
be made locally 3 in the field to the appropriate intelligence
agency. . .

OND EE a eo

Our responsibility with regard to military porsonnel:'is not con
fined to those who have been the subjects of security investi-
gations, It extends to any subversive derogatory daia developed
against a member of the armed services during any of our investi—
gations of either individuals or organizations. For instance,
af it is determined that a member of the armed forces has been
in contact with a security subject or with any individual or group
raising security implications, the appropriate intelligence

oo. service should be immediately advised locally. This sheuld be

o @one even though the security aspects of the contact have not been
resolved, so that the military services may be in 2 position to dis-
charge their .responsibilities, It must be pointed out to them
specifically in such instances that the data are unverified,

- and pertinent developments must be transmitted to them thereafter

immediately upon receipt. :

Section 87D 6b (1) (bh) provides that during the:course of security
investigations it must be determined whether the subjects have
any close relatives in the ermed forces, Our responsibilities
require that such assecietions be called to the attention of the
appropriate military intelligence services, together with per~
tinent data, including reports, on the security subjects involved,
The evaluation of these associations lies entirely within the
~. province of the intelligence services, but for the reasons stated
‘previously herein it is incumbent upon the Bureau to diss seminate .
this information immediately upon receipt,

Any subversive contacts or information developed concerning
_ military personnel must: be set out in a letter to the Bureau,

Annual Communist Party, USA, organizational and member ship survey

Each office is instructed to initiate by February 1 of each year a
detailed and analytical survey of the organization and membership of
the Communist Party in its territory, tesults to be forwarded to the
Bureau by April 1. Set forth in detail the complete organizational
structure of each Communist Party district or state organizatior
including district and county committees, together with the identities
of officers from the club through the district level. Identify each
Communist Party club and section in the district, together with the
identities of individual club members and most recent date cach member

‘was so identified. Where identification of an individual is tentative,

this fact should be indicated by placing the word "tentative" after

the individual's name. Note the informant coverage in each club, as
well as on district and county committees, by setting forth the symbol
numbers of the informants. In those instances in which no, informant
coverage exists in a particular club or on a district or county committce,
this fact should be noted. In addition, summarize the over-all findings
by setting forth the estimated Communist Party membership in the field
office territory, together with the number of members who have been
positively and tentatively identified as such within the immediately
preceding 12-month period: Charts and maps should be used in setting
forth the geographic distribution of the Communist Party whenever
feasible. Offices which are auxiliary offices in investigation of a
Communist Party district should furnish the required information to

the office of origin for inclusion in its survey by March 15 of- each
year.

Following the organizational breakdown, each office should critically
appraise its knowledge of the Communist Party ‘organization -within its

-d@ivision and set forth its comments and recommendations concerning -

investigative activity to be undertaken to eliminate any weaknesses
detected. In those instances in which the @isclosed weakness is that
of lack of adequate informant coverage, advise in detail of the —

. number of Bureau-approved potential security informants being developed

in the particular area, as well as concrete plans to obtain 2dditional

informant coverage in the future.

the racial movement; investigations of communist fronts and other
miscellaneous organizations; and racial disturbances and other racial
matters investigated under the racial matter character. Information
should be included in these quarterly reports, notwithstanding the
fact that it will duplicate reporting in the other substantive matters
referred to above, These.reports shall be designed to precisely spell
out the full extent of the communist influence in racial matters,

They should separate words and intentions from actions; mere partic~
ipation from direct influence; and the bona fide communist from the
mere "do-gooder," They should not include information concerning
legitimate efforts in the racial movement where there is no communist
taint.

Security index
(1) Purpose

- (a) Security index cards are prepared and maintained by the
“Bureau to serve as operational guide for apprehension of
persons deemed dangerous or potentially dangerous to the
internal security of the country in the event of a national
emergency.

(b) It shall corittain the names of all persons who have been
determined through investigation tc be dangerous or poten-
tially dangerous because.of their membership in or affiliation
with or espousal of doctrines of basic revolutionary organ-
izations and/or front organizations and who will be
apprehended upon receipt of instructions from the Attorney
General,

(c) It shall include subjeots of espionage investigations and
any other type of Bureau investigation provided their
activities bring them within the scope of the security index
criteria. “0

(a) Action shall be taken against individuals incinded in. the
security index only upon authorization of warrants of
arrest by the Attorney General, However, in preparing and
maintaining the security index, te all practical effects,
the Bureau is making the decision as to those persons who will
be apprehended in the event of an emergency, inasmuch as the
Attorney General has advised that he does not have funds or

(e) Names shall be included in the security index only when '
{ investigation has established and reports[ show] sufficient { '
“facts and evidence to justify the inclusion of each subject x,

in the security index. :

(£}) The contents of the security index must be acourate and
correct at all times. Matters pertaining to its preparation .
and maintenance must be given preferred, expeditious, oon~
tinuous, and detailed attention. . ,

- (g) Matters pertaining to the security index are strictly con-
fLidential and are not to be mentioned or alluded to in
investigative reports.

(nh) The general operation and content of the security index

must not be discussed by field personnel of the Bureau with

out prior Bureau authority.

. (i) Matters pertaining to the security index may be disoussed

ore with duly qualified representatives of other Federal ‘intelli-~ -

Ne gence agencies only on a strictly confidential basis and

only in instances in which an individual subject of prime
interest to ons of these services is involved.
(2) Determination of dangerousness of an individual
(a) The dangercousness of a member or affiliate of a subversive
organization does not necessarily depend entirely upon his
personal characteristics, such as aggressiveness or'a dis~
position to violence, -Although these factors must be taken
-into consideration in evaluating an individualts potential
dangérousness, other factors are essential in making this
determination. An individual's dangerousness also depends
upon the contribution he has made or is making “in the 2dvance—
. ment of the principles and aims of the subversive movement
a . ' with which he is connected or bis subversive potentialities
os" in the event of a national emergency. Bear in mind that a
subject active in a subversive organization is not merely
an isolated individual but-is a part of an organization of
: which the purposes are opposed to the best interests of the
. ot U. 8. An individual's loyalty to a subversive organization
cand the principles thereof is a primary factor to take into
consideration in evaluating his patential dangerowsness; [how~
ever, regardless of evidence of subversive affiliation, all
evidence developed during the course of a security investigation
cot “must be carefully weighed for the purpose of determining
whether the subject's activities depict him as a potentially
dangerous individual in time of a-national emergency, Factors
having a bearing upon an individualts potential dangerousness
are numerous and will vary in each case in degree.]
Among such factors are:
I. Long continued membership in a subversive organization
It, Affiliation with or attendance at training schools,

. 3 —— especially leadership schools

Dissemination at the Bureau

There are some situations in which dissemination is made at the
Bureau instead of in the field. In the majority of instances,
information received by the FBI should properly be furnished
immediately to some other agency within the executive branch of
the Government so that the respensibilitics of the other agency
might be fulfilled properly. Care must be taken, however, not
to disseminate information to any field branch of another
Government agency where such a procedure is deemed inadvisable
because of the inadequacy of security measures in that branch.
in these instances the data should be brought to the immediate
attention of the Bureau for dissemination at the SOG. An
example of the latter is, of course, the Atomic Bnergy Commission,
which seceives reports only through the Bureau, as noted in
section 87D 7e[(3) lof this mammal, Information relating ‘2
foreign travel plans of security subjects-is disseminate

to interested agencies, including the State Department, only

at the SOG, as set out in 87D 6d (4). Dissemination is also
made at the SOG to the State Department, unless it appears
undesirable, in those cases in which subjects have been
indicted for violations grounded on subversive activities,
Dissemination in these cases is made to preclude these subjects
from utilizing the fact they obtained a passport to refute
allegations of subversive connections, The State Depart:ent,
therefore, will be in possession of data concerning a deiendant
should he attempt to utilize this tactic in such an action.

Members of the armed forces

The Delimitations Agreement between the FBI and the armed forces

‘87D iQox 87. SECURITY invaseroatt

fhus, in discharging our basic responsibilities in the internal
security field, it is imperative that information concerning momber’
of the military services be referred immediately to the anpro- :
priate branch having primary responsibility for its personnel. :
This procedure is mandatory, even though the security aspects of °
the data have not been fully resolved or verified. It shovld’

be specifically pointed out in such instances that the infor—
mation hes not been verified,

Section 87D 5b of this manual instructs that if it is determined
2 security subject is a member of the armed services the investi-
gation must at that point be discontinued immediately and reported
to the Bureau, The basis for such instruction lies, in the fact
that the subject is no longer within our investigative juris—
- diction, In addition, dissemination of pertinent reports must
pe made locally in the field to the appropriate intelligence
agency. .
Our responsibility with regard to military personnel is not con-
fined to those who have been the subjects of security investi-
gations, It extends to any subversive derogatory data devcloped
against a member of the armed services during any of our investi-
gations of either individuals or organizations, For instance,
if it is determined that a-member of the armed forces has been
in contact with a security subject or with any individual or group
raising security implications, the, appropriate intelligence
sérvice should be immediately advised locally. This should be
done even though the security aspects of the contact have not been
resolved, so that the military services may be in a position to dis—
charge their .responsibilities, It must be pointed out to them
specifically in such instances that the data are unverified,
. and pertinent developments must be transmitted to them thereafter
vs ammediately upon receipt. ; 3

({10)] Dissemination at the Bureau
Phere are some situations in which dissemination is made at the
Bureau instead of in the field. In the majority of instances,
information received by the FBI should properly be furnished
immediately to some other agency within the executive branch of
the Government so that the responsibilities of the other agency

might be fulfilled properly. Care must be taken, however, not “3
to disseminate information to any field branch of, another &
Government agency where such a procedure is deemed inadvisable =
because of the inadequacy of security measures in that branch. =
In these instances the data should be brought to the immediate oa
attention of the Bureau for dissemination at the SOG. An . &
example of the latter is, of course, the Atomic Energy Commission, Pa
which receives reports only through the Bureau, as noted in :&
Section 87D 7c (4) of this mamal. Information relating to Si
foreign travel plans of security subjects is disseminated &
to interested agencies, including the State Department, only ie
at the SOG, as set out in 87D 6b (4). Dissemination is also. a
made at the SOG to the State Department, unless it appears g
undesirable, in those cases in which subjects have been
indicted for viclations grounded on subversive activities. =
Dissemination in these cases is made to preclude these subjects &
from utilizing the fact they obtzined a passport to refute #
allegations of subversive connec’‘ons, The State Department, - 2
therefore, will be in possession sf data concerning a defendant %,
should he attempt to utilize this tactic in such an action. &

Thus, in discharging our basic responsibilities in the internal
security field, it is tmperative t}2.t information concerning members
of the military services be referred immediately to the anpro~

This procedure is mandatory, even though the security aspects of

the data have not been fully resolved or verified. It should

be specifically pointed out in such instances that the infor—
mation has not been verified. .

Pes ORS

Section 87D 5b of this manual instructs that if it is determined

a security subject is a member of the armed services the investi-~
gation must at‘that point be discontinued immediately and reported
to the Bureau. The basis for such instruction lies in the fact
that the subject is no longer within our investigative juris-
diction, In addition, dissemination of pertinent reports must

be made locally in the field to the appropriate intelligence
agency. .

Our responsibility with regard to military personnel is not con-

' fined to those who have been the subjects of security investi-
gations, It extends to any subversive derogatory data developed
against a member of the armed services during any of our investi~
gations of either individuals or organizations, For instanca,
if it is determined that a member of the armed forces has been
in contact with a security subject or with any individuel or group
raising security implications, the apprepriate intelligence
service, should be immediately advised locally. This shoyld be
done even though the security aspects of the contact have not been
resolved, so that the military services may be in a position to dis~
charge their .responsibilities. It must be pointed out to them
Specifically in such instances that the data are unverified,

.and pertinent developments must be transmitted to them thereafter
immediately upon receipt. .

Section 87D 6b (1) (h} provides that during the course’ ef security
investigations it must be determined whether the subjects have
any close relatives in the armed forces. Our responsibilities

- appropriate military intelligence services, together with per—
Lae - tdnent date, including reports, on the security subjects involved.

In connection with periodic reports in security index
cases, there are instances in which evidence of extensive
activity in subversive organizations will be developed,

In these cases it is permissible to report such information
in narrative-type statements without indicating exact

dates of activity; however, -the period of time involved
must be shown, as well as the inclusive dates of the
informant reports.

This type reporting is not to be utilized in Smith Act of

“1940 cases or Internal Security Act of 1950 cases. ‘The

narrative statements must be statements of facts and not

conclusions and information from each source must be reported

in separate narrative statements.

The above instruct ons in no way remove responsibility
for reporting all
in mind the fact that Bureau files must be complete insofar

as matters of substance are concerned, nor is responsibility

removed for the reporting in detail of information tending
to establish a subject's knowledge of the basic aims and
purposes of the subversive organizations with which affil-—

Matters pertaining to the security index are strictly con-

Determination of dangerousness of an individual
(a) The dangerousness of a member or affiliate of a subversive
organization does not necessarily depend entirely upon his
personal charatteristics, such as aggressiveness or a dis—
position to violence. Although these factors must be talen
“into consideration in evaluating an individualts potential
dangerousness, other factors are essential in making this
determination. An individual's dangerousness also depends

(f)

(g)

upon the contribution he has made or is making in the advanece—

ment of the principles and aims of the subversive movement
with which he is connected or his subversive potentialities
in the event of a national emergency. Bear in mind that a
subject active in a subversive organization is not merely
an isolated individual but is a part of an organization of
- which the purposes are opposed to the best interests of the
U. S. An individual's loyalty to a subversive organization
‘and the principles thereof is a primary factor to take into
Consideration in evaluating his potential dangerousness;[how~
“ever, regardless of evidence of subversive affiliation, all

evidence developed during the course of a security investigation

must be carefully weighed for the purpose of determining
Whether the subject's activities depict him as a potentially
dangerous individual in time of a national emergency.
-having a bearing upon an individual's potential, dangerousness
are numerous and will vary in each case in degree. }

_Among such factors are:

I. long continued membership in a subversive organization

ZI. Affiliation with or attendance at training schools,
especially leadership schools
Tir. Frequent or regular attendance at organizational meetings
".° 3; and functions Cee - -
iv. Subscriptions to publications of a subversive organization
~W. Possession of or continued study of. revolutionary titera-
ee tire : vee -
Vi. Preparation or distribution ‘of subversive “propaganda. ‘and/or
_ . + Literature bee,
VII. Holding positions in the subversive organization or in
other organizations of a front character which indicate
confidence of such organizations in his loyalty

not necessary to request the office originally obtaining
the information to document it further ‘by furnishing
information showing the location of the original in

Dissemination of data developed in security investigations

The proper utilization of information received by the Bureau is foremost
among our responsibilities as an investigative agency. It is the Bureauts
duty to keep the proper intelligence agencies informed concerning infor—

mation of interest to them. Further, information which comes to the .
attention of the Bureau in connection with the conduct of investigations

normally and regularly within the jurisdiction of “he Bureau, which
‘Anformation is believed to be of interest to another agency within the

executive branch of the Government, should be forwarded to the interested
agency unless there are good and compelling reasons not to do so. This is
in line with the Delimitations Agreement and Presidential directives which
provide for the dissemination to other agencies of information relating

to espionage, sabotage, subversive activities, and related matters where

the specific agency has a present | or potential interest in the information,

“Set out hereafter is a summarization of existing Bureau “pequirements re-

Spr" TON 87. SECURITY INVESTIGATION’

Other Marxist Oovvsscnery groups @

A long~established group which would come under this category is the
Proletarian Party of America, a relatively small organization,

Phere also are a few small groups composed of ex-members of the
Communist Party, USA, who have voluntarily left the party or who
have been expelled, usually for factionalism.

General

Communist investigations must be conducted Sn a most discreet and
thorough manner at all times, Members of law enforcement afencies
are not to accompeny Agents during the course of security-type
investigations without prior Burcau authority, Burcau employees -
should not discuss comnunist or related investigations with any
unauthorized individual, The subject of communism is not to.be
used in speeches of Bureau employees without specific authorization,
Hovever, there is considerable mimeographed material in each office,

‘including speeches, testimony,and magazine axticles prepared by the

Director which could be furnished outside individuals interested in
the subject of communism without any discussion.

2. Purposes of investigation

Be

de

" Ce

Po PT

Faia

The investigation of the Communist Party, USA, and other similar—type

‘organizations is of twofold purpose: (1) to obtain legally admissible

evidence against these organizations for prosecution under existing

Federal statutes set out above and (2) to follow closely the activities

of these organizations from an intelligence viewpoint to have a day-

to-day appraisal of the strength, dangerousness, and activities of

these organizations seeking the overthrow of the U, S, Government,

Suggestions for proper coverage cf the investigation of the Communist

Party as an organization and similer organizations should inolude:

(1) The assignment of sufficient Agent personnel to insure that ‘all
of the important ramifications of party activities are properly.
covered .

(2) Development of confidential. informants in all party levels,
insluding the national headquarters organization ‘

(3) The establishment of trash and mail covers on pertinent head
quarters and party funci! onaries

(4) The constant effort to Tavelop admissible evidence against party
officials for violation of FPederzl laws

Brief to establish illegal status of Communist Party, USA

{1) Purpose of brief is to collect all legally admissible evidence
to prove.illegality of party in one file. (Bufile 100-3-74)}

(2) Reports on brief to establish illegal status must be submitted

by each office quarterly and shonld include only legally

admissible evidence obtained during preceding threc-icnth period.

[If there is no information to report, include a sta-.:ment to th-
effect in the cover pages of the quarterly report ‘or the same
eriod entitled "Communist Party, USA,-Internal Se.arity -— ¢"
no copy needed for Bufile 100-3-74)}.]
(3) It is. advisable to use the ‘following breakdown in preparing

reports:
a Origin and continuity of the party:
bd Pertinent statements, writings, and instructions relating to

(1) Marxism-Leninism, (2) imperialism, 3} proletarian
internationalism, (4) defense of USSR, {3 revolutionary
statements .

(é). Internal Security Act of 1950. -Include under this.
headings any admissible evidence which would tend to prove
a violation of section 4(a}) of this act.

If a question of law arises as to existence of violation, advise
’ Bureav aud hold investigation in abeyence until opinion is
obtained from Department. Where the materiality of the denial
or omission indicates a full investigation is not warranted, a
limited investigation may be conducted; e.g., where denial of

show membership in IWO but no participation in its activities,
However, the Department has advised it is unable to adopt any
fixed policy as to whether prosecution is warranted in any
particular category of cases of this type and desires to review
and consider each case individually. Therefore, the basic facts

sound judgment and discretion in evaluating importance and dangerousness

of individual members or affiliates,

As a general policy, investigate the activities of any individual falling
within one or more of the following categories who does not come within
one of the restrictions on investigations listed under 87D, 5, belows
a. Membership in basic revolutionary organizations: subsequent to 1-1-49

(6-25-50), continued to espouse the line of one or more of the
above-mentioned revolutionary organizations or related groups -
‘thereby defining his or her adherence to policies opposed to
best interests of the U, 5S,
(2) Espousal mentioned above encompasses. a wide variety and range
of activities, Membership in one or more'of the basic revo-—
lutionary organizations is not a prerequisite to the institution
. of an investigation of an individual within this category.
{3) Espousal expressed by membership or active participation in
Subversive front groups (whether or not cited by the Attorney

- type of front organization, as well as extent of individual's
activities on behalf of the front organization or in support of
the basic revolutionary organization. Open investigation in every
instance in which information available indicates a subject is
actively engaged in the affairs of a subversive front organi-

‘the furtherance of the aims and purposes of- the front organization.
(4) Do not open an investigation on mere membership alone in a front
organization in the absence of allegations of active participa-

In connection with periodic reports in security index
eoxnses, there are instances in which evidence of extensive
activity in subversive crrenizations will be developed.

In these cases it is permissible to report such information
in narrative-type statements without indicating exact

dates of activity; howsver, ‘the period of time involved
must be shown, as well as the inclusive dates of .the
informant reports,

This type reporting is not to be utilized in Smith Act of

{ . 1940 cases or Internal Security Act of 1950 cases, ‘The
narrative statements must be statements of fact: and not

conclusions and information from each source must be reported

in separate narrative statements,

The above instructions in no way remove responsibility

for reporting all items of pertinence to the Bureau, bearing

in mind the fact that Bureau files must be complete insofar

Si. LEON 87. SECURITY INVESTIGATIO1. : 87D

If a question of law arises as to existence of violation, advise
Bureau and hold investigation in abeyance until opinion is
obtained from Department. Where the materiality of the denial
or omission indicates a full investigation is not warranted, a
Limited investigation may be conducted; e.g., where denial of
past International Workers Order (IWO) membership made and files
show membership in IWO but no participation in its activities.
However, the Department has advised it is unable to adopt any
fixed policy as to whether prosecution is warranted in any
particular category of cases of this type and desires to review
and consider each case individually, Therefore, the basic facts

.concerning the execution and filing of the document and the stb—-

versive activity denied should be submitted in report form for
presentation to the Department, even though the basis for the
concealment or fraudulent statement does not appear toa be
material,

Investigate and report criminel‘fraud violation (such es. con-
cealment of arrests) arising during security~type fraud investi-
fation on same subject in conjunction with the investigation: of
the security-—type frayd. Both violations will be presented to
the Department by the Bureau. If, however, the security—type
fraud investigation is discontinued, handle the criminal frand
separately in eccordance with section 47 of this manual, Mili-
tary. intelligence agencies often refer cases for security investi-
gations under Delimitations Agreement in which security-ltype fraud

‘violations also involved. If the subversive information does

not warrant full security investigation but docs indicate a
possible fraud violation, advise the interested agency the

_ Bureau's investigation will be directed toward proving the

possible. violation of law and thet any background investigation
contemplated by it pursuant to its administrative responsibili-~
ties will not interfere with our investigation. Advise agency
any pertinent information developed during our investigation will

Previously been submitted in the case, a Letlerhead momorandum
summarizing the available subversive data should accompany
the initial letter advising the Bureau of the proposed

regarding subject's subversive activities and affiliations
should be carefully evaluated with « view toward dciermining
whether a full security investigati.. should be couducted

and the communication transmitting .:ta regarding a subject's
travel should contain a statement as to whether os seourity

in the tour and furnish the Buresu a letterhead memorandum
suitable for dissemination to the State Department, the
Central Intelligence Agency, and appropriate Legal. attaches,
including therein all readily available information pertaining
to the tour, such as itinerary, pertinent dates, names of
individuals making up the tour with addresses, if available,
and a thumbnail sketch of the organization or indiridual
sponsoring the tour.

Letterhead memoranda relating to the tours will be dissem~
inated by the Bureau with a statement that, as individuals
participatir,. cre identified, recipients will be furnished.
i under the individual case caption where -
those indivilusls are found to have subversive backgrounds.
Therefore, the appropri-.te field offices sheuld immediately
identify and submit individwal memoranda concerning such
individuals. The details of travel will be:sreplaced by a
reference to the memorandum previously prepared unger the
caption of the organization sponsoring the tour, Prepare
individual memorahda only in the cases of individuals with
subversive backgrounds falling within the categories set
out previously herein. . -

[ (f) Advise the Bureau promptly in form suitable for dissemi-— . .
nation of a subject's return from travel abroad in those
instances in which stops have been placed with security
services abroad through the agencies listed above. In
instances in which an individual against whom stops have
‘been placed has traveled to any country behind the Iron
Curtain, the Burean shall also be furnished at that time
with recommendations as to the desirability of interview
of such person and with advice as to whether additional
investigation concerning him is contemplated. In the event
such an interview is authorized, it shall be conducted
promptly and the case shall not be closed until such inter-—
view is had and the results thereof submitted in report
form.
C (g) In some instances a security investigation of a subject not
. yet included in the security index may be in progress at
: se ' the time it is found that the subjéct has recently departed
* for a foreign country. If the evidence developed at that
time warrants the inclusion of the subject in the security
index were it not for the fact that he is outside the U. S.,
form FL-122 should be submitted recommending his inclusion
in the unavailable section of the security index. After all
dnitial investigation is completed, the subject's case wiil
be handled the same as those of ather subjects of a similar

attention to the existence of a security index card for
_ that individual, In 211 such instances’ a specific
recommendation must be made concerning the cancellation
of the card. The card may be destroyed upon receipt of
Bureau authority to cesignate the subject as a security
informant, .

Subject no longer dangerous or potentially dangerous
Instructions set out below should be read in conjunction’
with 87D 6b (7) (c) herein relating to interviews with
security index subjects,

Frequently, after.a subject is included in the security
index, infarmation is received or investigation develops
information[indicating]that he is no longer a threat to
the internal security by reason of defection or expulsion
from the subversive movement, membership in ovr affiliation
with which.was the reason for placing him in the security
index, Such defection may be[shovn]by Lack of activity
and obvious disinterest over an extended period of time
or upon declaration of opposition to the principles of
the subversive movement. The latter may manifest itself in
declarations by a subjeot in the presence of confidential
informants or other sources, statements to the press, or
actual contact with Bureau representatives and admission
of previous subversive activity. °
When sufficient information is at hand regarding subject's
present sympathies to reach conclusion that he should no
longer be scheduled for apprehension as a dangerous subver—
sive, request authority to interview subject or advise
Bureau of reasons why subject should not be interviewed,
_ Bureau will not cancel security index card without consider—
ation being given to interview of subject, See 87D 6b (7).
ec) and (a). ; .

If, upon interview, subject proves cooperative to extent
that his security index card should be cancelled, advise
Bureau by letter of results together with a recommendation
for cancellation which must be approved by Bureau,
Subjects removed from secu

As security index ca...s are reviewed upon. reopening in the
‘field, there will be instances in which removal will be re-—

(nh) Subjects of Chinese extraction
In any communication recommending cancellation of a security
index card on a subject of Chinese extraction, such cormu-~
nication must contain the words "Other - Chinese." This
regulation relates specificslly to those subjects placed
on the security index following a recommendation submitted
in accordence with the instructions contained in, section
. 87D 7b (4) (3) above.
(11) Priority apprehension program (DETCOM)
{a} Purpose

Many individuals included in security index because of their
training, violent tendencies, or prominence in subversive
activity ere extremely dangerous and would be more inclined
to commit or capable of committing overt acts against the
_U. S. in time of national emergency than would others in
‘security index, Degrea of dangerousness of such individuals
is so pronounced that in interest of security they must
be immobilized in the least possible time prior to others

- . in security index, The administrative procedure developed
to make apprehensions on a priority basis. is referred to
as the detcom’program, Subjects designated for priority
apprehension are referred to as feteom subjects.

not necessary to request the office originally obtaining
the information te document it further by furnishing
information showing the Location of the original in
the office files, If all documentatian, except the
latter item, is not in the possession of the office
preparing the report, it should be obtained.

VI. In a very limited number of instances it may he necessary
to obtain a thumbnail sketch or characterization of an
individual or organisation from another office or the
Bureau. When such information is received in your
office, it should be placed in thumbnail sketch files
‘so that it will be available to and can be readily
located by Agents having future need for it, thereby
eliminating repeated requests of another office for the

8. Dissemination of data developed in security investigations
The proper utilization of information received by the Bureau is foremost
among our responsibilities as an investigative agency. It is’the Bureaus . ,
duty to keep the proper intelligence egencies informed concerning infor- -
mation of interest to them. Further, information which comes to the: :
attention of the Bureau in connection with the conduct of investigations .
normally and regularly within the jurisdiction of the Bureau, which ~
information is believed to be of interest to another agency within the
exccutive branch of the Government, should be forvarded to the interested
agency unless thrre are good and compelling reasons not to do so. This is

( ‘ Proletarian Party of America, a relatively small organization.

There also are a few small groups composed of exemembers of the :
Communist Party, USA, who have voluntarily left the party or who °
have been expelled, usually for factionalism.

a €. General id

thorough manner at all times, Members of law enforcement agencies

investigations without prior Bureau authority. Bureau employees
should not discuss communist or related investigations with any .
. unauthorized individual, The subject of communism is not to be 7%
' used in speeches of Bureau employees without speoific authorization.
However, there is considerable mimeographed material in each office,
including speeches, testimony,and magazine articles prepared by the
Director which could be fuxsnished outside individuals interested in
the subject of communism without any discussion,
2. Purposes of investigation
ae The investigation of the Communist Party, USA, and other similar—type
' organizations is of twofold purpose: (1) to obtain legally admissible
, evidence against these organizations for prosecution under existing

to-day appraisal of the strength, dangerousnes’. «nd activities of
these organizations seeking the overthrow of t: . 8S, Government,
bo Suggestions for proper coverage of the investigc:ion of the Communist
. Party as an organization and similar organizatiozus should include:
(1) The assignment of sufficient Agent personnel to insure that all
of the important ramifications of party activities are properly
covered
(2) Development of confidential informants in all party levels,
including the national headquarters organization

~ : (3) The establishment of trash and mail covers on pertinent head—

quarters and party functionaries

(4) The constant effort to develop admissible evidence against party .

officials for violation of Federal laws
[c. Brief to establish illegal status of Communist Party, USA

(1) Purpose of brief is to collect all legally admissible evidence
to prove illegality of party in one file. (Bufile 100~3~74,)

(2) Reports on brief to establish illegal status must be submitted a
by each office quarterly and should include only legally :
admissible evidence obtained during preceding three-month period.

(If no information to report, letter may be submitted.) :

(3) It is advisable to use the following brea’down in preparing °

, reports: - .
a Origin, and continuity of the party
a} Pertinent statements, writings,and instructions relating to
(1) Marxism-Leninism, (2) imperialism, {3} proletarian
internationalism, (4§ defense of USSR, (5) revolutionary
statements St
(c) Internal Security Act of 1950. Include under this
-heading any admissible evidente which would tend to prove
a violation of section 4{a) of this act.]

special group of individuals who should receive priority
consideration with respect to investigation and/or other
action following the apprehension of security index subjects.

tions and ideology. Include in this section those indi-
viduals meeting the standards for inclusion in the reserve
index and who fall within the following categories:

Purpose
The reserve index is designed to represent those persons who,
in the light of ever-changin ng conditions, should be continually
borne in mind from the standpoint of the security of the country
with a view toward possible investigation, interrogation, or
action under the security index program. This index may serve
as an administrative aid and working index containing a central
repository of the names of individuals having sympathy for or
affiliation with the Communist Party or other basic revolutionary
organizations. .
Individuals to be included
This index is to contain names of in@ividuals when, following
investigation, the information does not justify the inclusion of
the subject's name in the security index when there’ is evidence of:
a), Membership in 2 basic revolutionary organization subsequent
to January 1, 1949, together with some indication of sympathy
or association with such an organivnbion or a subversive
front organization subsequent to the reported membership and
“no reliable evidence of defection
(b) Investigation has failed to substantiate allegations of
membership in a revolutionary organization within the past
five years, coupled with some evidence or information
indicating activity, association, or sympathy for the
subversive cause within the same period, and no reliable-
evidence of defection,
(cs) The individual, within the past five years, by his associa—
. tions, writings, financial support, or conduct in relation
to and support of subversive organizations or the international
communist movement is in 2 position to influence others at
the time of a national emergency and no reliable evidence of
-. defection. - ote
(a) Leadership or substantial activities ina major subversive
- front group over three years ago, together with some evidence
of continuing activity, association, or sympathy for the
subversive cause within three years and no reliable evidence

should not di:cuss communist or related investiga ations with any
unauthorized ‘Andividial, The subject of comnunism is not to be

wused in speeches of Bureau employees without specific authorization,

including speeches, testimony,and magazine articles prepared by the

Director which could be furnished outside individuals interested in
the subject of communism without any discussion.

SEC” 9N 87. SECURITY INVESTIGATION’

Information suggestive of additional leads and information
of particular significance in showing subject's knowledge
of and adherence to revolutionary aims of organization or
organizations with which he is associated should be fully
and carefully reported.

Each report is to include all information having any
pertinency as to whether or not there is justification for
security index card, This includes pertinent information
concerning background and subversive activitiese

When previous summary reports which have been prepared

are not suitable for’ dissemination because of disclosure
of sources, information contained therein should be
included in current summary reports with sources fully
protected. Each office must be certain that all pertinent
information has been incorporated in either a past or
current disseminative summary report.

Frequently information will have been obtainedl reporting]
subject's presence at numerous meetings of subversive
organizations over a period of years, In many instances
these facts will have been reported by only one informant.
In others, two or three informants will have reported
subject's attendance at meetings, The question of
pertinency of all such items is dependent upon the weight
of all of the evidence obtained against the subject,

Such repetitious and cumulative items to be specifically
set forth in reports may be reduced in number to the point
where they will be limited to a representative number of ©
such items. Each such item specifically set forth must be
fully documented,

The number of such items to be included in each instance
will be dependent upon the preponderance of other

evidence available for inclusion in the report which

will lend weight to our case against the subjeot.
Selection of such items with regard to period of time

Will be dépendent upon all facts developed against
subject, Seleotion should be based upon the objective

of specifically reporting data sufficient to justify
continued detention of each subject if apprehended.

When selection of representative number of such items is
made, they should be followed by a general statement
summarizing any ‘other items furnished by. source. The
summarizing statement should indicate that source advised
during a specified period of timé that siipject also attended
a certain number of other meetings during a certain period.

In the documentation of a summarizing statement set out
the file number and serial scope.

Definition .

A top functionary is an individual, either a member or 2
nonmember of the Communist Party, to whom, because of his
importance, it is ne‘essary to give continuous investigative

attention in order °“- keep abreast'of communism on a
mational basis in -:.. U. S. Necessarily, such an individual
‘would be on a high policy level in the movement. oo

The term "top functionary" is not. to be construed as re~

quiring that individuals in this category must actually

hold official positions in party organizations but shall

be given 2 broad enough construction to include others who
are of equal importance because of their influence in the
movement itself, or their position and activities outside

the party in labor, front, or similar organizations or
movements. :

Manner of designation

Prior Bureau authority necessa-y to designate a subjesct

as a top functionary. Submit such recommendation to Bureau
by letter containing reasons for the recommendation, Bureau
desires to be very selective in this matter and to concentrate
on individuals who, on a national basis, are the guiding hands
in the communist movement,

individual, check the office indices and review files
thoroughly for any pertinent information on record showing
background and subversive activity of each individual
subject, Include such information in the initiel investi-
gative report.
Once a main security file has been opened for an individual,
subsequent information received concerning him should de
channelized to that file. The reference cards pertaining
to the subject should be consolidated in the indices
‘after each check and review of files has been made.
(») Security informants
Success of security investigations of individuals is
primarily dependent upon a broad confidential informant
coverage within every phase of subversive activity.
Information and evidence developed through such sources
are unsurpassed in value because of possible use not only
for intelligence purposes but also as admissible evidence,

Locate rubjects are not to be submitted, The Bureau
will closely follow investigative action to locate
missing security index subjects. :

Il. If you receive indications that the subject went to
Mexico or Canada, request the Bureau to alert other

Pian igoaheenne sialon

appropriate Government agencies to this possibility #

. and to determine any available verifying information a

. ; through liaison channels. &

TIT. If the subject is reported to have gone to any other 2

\* Lo foreign country, the Washington Field Office should be ¥
requested to check the records of the Passport Office. x

of the State Department for verification. : =

. . ; IV. When all logical leads have been exhausted in the case
of a missing important functionary, consideration should
be given to circularizing all field offices with the
subject's photograph and background information for the

- purpose of alerting the entire field to the identity

of the subject. Bureau authority must ve obtained be-—
fore circularization is made, In seeking Bureau author—
ity, advise the Bureau as to the position held by the
subject and what efforts have already been made to locate
him.

eee - .If.this procedure is to be effective, its application
: . “must necessarily be restrictive in the nwnber of subjects
yo “ - to which it is applied. Therefore, requests-to circularize
. must be made only after every possible lead has been
exhausted and then only in the cases of the most impor—
tant missing functionaries. :
(4)- Individuals traveling abroad[{(If subject is a resident alien,
also consider section 105E, 4, volume IV, of this manual.}]
When informaticn is received indicating that any individual on
whom we have subversive derogatory information intends to travel

nation, setting forth complete available details concerning
the foreign travel, including places and dates of departure
and intended return, destination and itinerary, purpose of
trip, the exact name under which the passport was issued,
the number of the passport, and the office issuing the pass—
port, if known. However, do not delay advising the Bureau
of the actuel or intended travel while developing the above
information as time is of the essence in this matter.
(vb) Set out a lead for the Washington Field Office for a check eo
- of the records of the Passport Office, Department of State;
however, do not limit efforts to develop above information
os to a check of such records.
(c) In the ease of an individual previously the subject of
investigation, the case should be brought up to date by the
- prompt submission of a report in the event there is unreported
- information contained in the file. If reports have not
previously been submitted in the case, a letterhead memorandum

of the source, date of activity, date received, and name
of the Agent receiving the information are known, it is
not necessary to request the office originally obtaining
the information to document it further by furnishing
information showing the location of the original in
the office files, If all documentation, except the
latter item, is not in the possession of the office
preparing the report, it should be obtained. ,

Vv. If it is found desirable to include in a report the

- identities of individuals who are known communists

and have been associates of the subject to lend
weight to evidence of the subject's potential
dangerousness, only the source of the information
showing the associate to be a communist need be
identified.

VI. In a very limited number of instances it may be necessary

7-2". “s 4o obtain 2 thumbnail sketch or characterization of an

individual or organization from another office or the
Bureau. When such information is received in your
office, it should be placed in thumbnail sketch files
so that it will be available to and can te readily
located by Agents having future need for it, thereby
eliminating repeated requests of another office for the
same, information.

=" fg. Channelizing memoranda — destruction of following submission of reports
- > din security cases
Channelizing memoranda in organizational and individual security case
files may be destroyed following submission. of reports in these cases.

by serial or serial scope and requesting the chief clerkts

office to destroy. This memorandum should indicate that pertinent
information contained in the serials to be destroyed. was ine
corporated in the report.

The cover pages accompanying the report will List ‘the file and
serial number of the original informant reports or master

channelizing memoranda, md

In the case of multiple volumes the destruction memorandum should

be prepared by the Agent in sufficient numbers so that one copy will

appear in each volume of the multiple volume file being stripped.
Prior to destruction, the Agent's recommendations are to be
reviewed and approved by the supervisor at the time he reviews
and approves the report,

Employee destroying the channolizing memoranda must place date

of destruction and his initials on the destruction memorandum.
Thereafter, this memorandum will be filed in the case file as

a permanent record of the serial destroyed.

Technical and microphone surveillance channeliging memoranda

that security. information must be furnished promptly to interested

"interested agency" must be interpreted in the light of reason and .
“common sense, Any unusual situations should be brought to the attention >

- With regard to the question of membership, attention is
directed to section 87H of this manual relating to the
provisions of the Communist Control Act of 1954. This act
sets ont a list of 14 criteria itemized in 87H 2, which should
be considered "in determining membership or participation in
the Conmunist Party or any other urganization defined in this
Act, or knowledge of the purpose or objective of such party
or organizationgooo™ These criteria include, e.g., listing
as a member in organization records, contributions to the
organization, and acceptauce of organization discipline,

(b) Knowledge of aims and purposes
) Admissible and convincing cvidence that the subject knows
the aims and purposes of the subversive organizations to
overthrow the Govermacnt by force and violence should also
be obtained. Mere proof of membership in or affiliation with
such an organization is not sufficient to prove such knowledge.

Froof that the subject has such knowledge of the revolu~
tionary purposes of the organization inay be existent in
-several forms, several of which are discussed belows -
Ie Direct admissible evidence, such gs statoments made by
the subject, or by responsible officials of the subversive
organization in the subject's presence at organizational
classes or meetings expounding the organizationts
doctrine in which the necessity or advisability of using
force or violence in the overthrow of the Government
is asserted, should be obtained, if at all possible,

Occasionally, statements of this nature are available in
the subject's writings, sometimes in an indirect. or
veiled form,

II, Length of time in a subversive organization

Iti, Official positions held in the organization especially

in educational, propaganda, or policy-making capacities

IV. Charter membership in the organization, participation in
the original establishment of the organization

Va Extensive and long-continued participation in various
organizational activities

VI. <Attendance or teaching at organization schools or
classes, especially leadership classes

*

IX. Possession of Marxist or revolutionary literature
X. Urging others ta read literature of a revolutionary
; character, etce.

While none of the above types of evidence may be of sufficient
value alone, a combination of a number of them may constitute
convincing proof,

It should be remembered that the revolutionary purposes. of
a subversive organization are frequently cloaked in veiled
language or in language significant only to persons familiar
with Marxist or revolutionary terminology. Such obscure
statements should not be ignored, but should be fully reported
as it may be possible in’ legal proceedings to bring out the
significance of such statements through expert witnesses,
the testimony of informants, or the introduction of literature
clarifying them, Confidential informants and other sources
should be carefully interrogated and files thoroughly
reviewed for the- purpose of developing all revolutionary
statements, In such instances, complete details should be
obtained, together with all cerrovorating evidence, ‘The
names of all, persons present when such statements are made
shonld be ascertained and the racts reported in the individual
case file of the person making the statement and of all
persons present when the statement was made, The circun-
stances under which the.statemenl was made should, of course,
be ascertained and reported,
Position and importance
I. Information reflecting the importance of an individual
to a subversive organisation or movement should be fully
developed and reported, The member or affiliate may’ be
dangerous or important because of his position, influence
or activities outside the organization, or both, Phe
facts in this regard should be fully developed, The
individual may hold an important and strategic position
or exercise great influence in a labor organization or
other mass orga nivation; in » racial, nationality, youth
or othar group; in «n important front organization; in
radio, newspaper, motion picture or other cultural,

During the course of the initial investigation in any
security-type case, including espionage-and nationalistic
tendency cases, the physical characteristi¢ts and désorip-
tion of the subject shall be determined or verified by
personal sbservation. It is not necessary to observe
personally the subject of any case where preliminary
investigation dctcrmines the basis for opening the

case is unfounded,

The subject should be personally observed, if possible,
early in the investigation after it is determined that

a complete investigation is warranted to develop the
extent of a subject's subversive activities and to

consider whetker the subject's name should be added to

the security index, This action should be taken in the

course of developing background information to determine

- the subject and to

assist in establishing that the svhject of the inves ti-~

gation is the person against whom the subversive

allegations have been made, Each subject should be
personally obse--ed whenever a complete security investi-

gation is conduc .ed even though a security index card

is not being recommended at the completion of the |

investigation, . oe

the addition of a subject's name to the securit,; index

even though it has not been possibie to observe , srsonally

that the subject is dangerous or potentially da. Jerous,

If a security index card is not being recommenie? after

all logical investigation has been conducted and it has

not been possible to observe personally the subject during

the investigation, the case may be closed even though

this has not been done, If a security index oard has
been recommended and prepared and it has not been possible

to personally observe the subject, the case shall remain

open until such time as the subject is personally observed,
. except when it has been determined that the subject is

residing outside the continental U, S., Hawaii, Alaska,

or Puerto Rico, in which event the case may be closed if

there is no other pending investigation and the matter

should be followed administratively to be certain that

the subject is personally observed upon his-return to

this country.

(kx) Photograph

Reasonable efforts should be made during the investigation
[of a security subject]to obtain a photograph of the
subject through usual sources.

[Deleted]

[Cases on security -index subjects are “to be maintained

in a pending.status until such time as a suitable
photograph is obtained unless circumstances dictate
otherwise, in which case the Bureau should be advised.]
Once a photograph has been obtained, continue to be
alert for the existence of more recent photographs which
may become available.

Do not forward a copy of the photograph to the Bureau
unless the subject has been designated a key figure.

The above is not alleinclusive. Facts developed in each case

will produce information which will be indicative of the necessity
for conducting further investigation along lines which will “4
necessitate the use of various investigative techniques to develop
the case fully. The successful investigation of an individual
will depend upon the resourcefulness of the investigating Agents
in developing techniques which will further establish the sub—
versive activity of a subject. ”

Discretion must- be used in those instances in which contact
: . with persons known to the subject is believed desirahle,
Where such contact is contemplated, the Agént should assure
himself of the character, loyalty, and reliability of the person
= to be contacted concerning the subject by reviewing the office

In conducting security investigations the necessity of ob~

“be confirmed if possible by independent sources which can furnish -
evidence of an admissible character, The meeting should be covered
by arrangement for attendance by confidential informants to ob-
tain admissible evidence of the proceedings, The meetings should
be placed under physical surveillance, licenses of automobiles
parked near the meeting place noted, and attendants identified,
If possible and advisable, photographic surveillances should
be established, Other types of information received from confi-

recommendation must be made concerning the-cancellation
of the card, The card may be destroyed upon receipt of

informant,
(2) Subject no longer dangerous or potentially dangerous
Instructions set out below should be read in conjunction
with 87D 6b (7) (c) herein relating to interviews with
security index subjects. .

Frequently, after a subject is included in the security
index, information is received or investigation develops
information reflecting that he is no longer. a threat to
the internal security by reason of defection or expulsion
Tart os FAA Ss  "  Ppom the subversive movement, membership in or affiliation
, with which was the reason for placing him in the security
index, . Such defection may be reflected by lack of activity
and obvious disinterest over an extended period of time
or upon declaration of opposition to the principles of
the subversive movement, The latter may manifest itself in
declarations by 2 subject in the presence of confidential
informants or other sources, statements to the press, or
actual contact with Bureau representatives and admission
of Previous. subversive ectivitye ce . . :

“when sufficient information is at hand regarding sub jéct's
present sympathies to reach conclusion that he should no
longer be scheduied for apprehension as a dangerous subver—
sive, request authority to interview subject or advise’
Bureau of reasons why subject should not be interviewed,

. Bureau will not cancel security index card without consider—

‘y , ation being given to interview of subject, See 87D 6b (7)

7 . , ae ‘(c) and (d).

If, upon interview, subject proves cooperative to extent
that his security index card should be cancelled, advise
Bureau by letter of results together with a recommendation
for cancellation which must be approved by Bureau,
{g) Subjects removed from security index solely upon basis of
oo application of security. index criteria, with no affirmative
OS indication of defection
As security index cases are reviewed upon reopening in the
field, there will be instances in which removal will be re-
quired by application of the security index criteria set out
in 87D 7b (3). With the passage of time, limits specified
in criteria will operate to remove certain subjects even
though there is no affirmative indication of defection,

Although these subjects will in fact be removed from
security index, the following procedure should be followed
to allow for-possible future reference to these cases,
I. When subjects are removed from security index solely
on basis of application of security index criteria
as cases are reopened and reviewed in the field, retain
security index cards pertaining to such subjects | bear-
ing the descriptive matter on reverse sides; i.e.,
the cards previously filed in geographical, special, or
unavailable sections. Destroy cards previously filed
in alphabetical section, Those offices maintaining two
sets of geographical cards under provisions of 87D 7b
(6) (b) EZ should retain but one card in cach insta ANCC
: destroying second geographical card as well as card

II. Mark canceled across face of each such card being

retained and file it in the reserve index.

TIT. Consider whether the subject's name should he placed

in section A of the reserve index, If his name should
be included in section A, submit form FD-122a,

(IV. The above instructions do not apply in the case of

5 (b)

individuals removed from the security index based upon
activity in the Nation cf Islam. Security index cards
in such cases should be destroyed.]
Subjects of Chinese extraction
_in any communication recommending cancellation of a security
index card on a subject of Chinese extraction, such commu—
nication must contain the words "Other — Chinese," This
regulation relates specifically to those subjects placed
on the security index following a recommendation submitted
in accordance with the instructions contained in section
87D 7b (4) (4) above.

qa) Ertortty apprehension program (DETCOM)

Purpose

Many individuals included in security index because of their
training, violent tendencics, or prominence in subversive
activity are extremely dangerous and would be more inclined
to commit or capable of committing overt-acts against the

“  U. S. in time of national emergency than would others in

security index, Degree of dangerousness of such individuals
is so pronounced that in interest of security they must

be immobilized in the least possible time prior to others
in security index, The administrative procedure developed
to make apprehensions on a priority basis is referred to

as the detcom program, Subjects designated for priority
apprehension-are referred to as detcom subjects,

Individuals in security index tabbed detcom would be
arrested first in event of a limited but grave emorgenoy, -
probably without the arrest of other security index subjects,

In an all-out emergency, all subjects whose names are in the
security index will be considered for immediate apprehension,

Subjects tabbed for detcom should ‘comprise a hard core
of subversives, Each individual case should stand on its
own merits and decision to consider subjects for priority
of apprehension should be based on subject's subversive
activities and revolutionary tendencies.
Subjects to. be tabbed detcom
Each security index subject should be considered for detcom
tabbing (priority of arrest) who falls within one or more
of following categories: ”
I, <ALL top functionaries and key figures
If, Currently active communists or members of any basic
revolutionary organization (active within past year)
‘when there is evidence of one or more of following: |
(A) Activity as local organizers or leaders in the
organigation :
(B) Special training at Lenin School or Par Hastern
Institute in Moscow
(c) Experience as picket captains, strong-arm men, or
active participation in violent strikés, riots, or
demonstrations .
(D) Violent statements or strong revolutionary tendencies
as shown by their activities

attention to the existence of a security index card for
that individual, In all such instances 2a specific
recommendation must be made concerning the cancellation
of the card, The card may be destroyed upon receipt of
Bureau authority to designate the subject as afsecurity]
informant,

Subject no longer dangerous or potentially dangerous
Instructions set out below should be read in conjunction
with 87D Gb (7) (c) herein relating to interviews with
security index subjects,

Frequently, after a subject is included in the security
index, information is received or investigation develops
information reflecting that he is no longer a threat to
the internal security by reason of defection or expulsion
from the subversive movement, membership in or affiliation
with which was the reason for placing him in the security

“index,” Such defection may be reflected by lack of activity

and obvious disinterest over an extended period of time

‘or upon declaration of opposition to the principles of

the subversive movement. the latter may manifest itself in
declarations by a subject in the presence of -.confidential
informants or other sources, statements to the press, or
actual contact with Bureau representatives and admission
; subversive ectivitye 21

When sufficient information is at hand regarding subject's
present sympathies to reach conclusion that he should no
longer be scheduled for apprehension as a dangerous subver—-
sive, request authority to interview subject or advise
Bureau of reasons why subject should not be interviewed,
Bureau will not cancel security index card without consider—
ation being given to interview of subject, See 87D 6b (7)
(ce) and (a).

If, upon interview, subject proves cooperative to extent
that his security index card should be cancelled, advise
Bureau by letter of results together with a recemmendation
for cancellation which must be approved by Bureau,

Subjects removed from security index solely upon basis of
application of security index criteria, with no affirmative |

- -dndication of defection

As security index cases are reviewed upon reopening in the
field, there will be instances in which removal will be re-
quired by application of the security index criteria set out
in 87D 7b (3). With the passage of time, limits specified
in criteria will operate to remove certain subjects even
though there is no affirmative indication of defection,

Although these subjects will in fact be removed from
security index, the following procedure should be followed
to allow for possible future reference to these cases,

I. When subjects are removed from security index solely

on basis of application of security index criteria

@S cases are reopened and reviewed in the field, retain
security index cards pertaining to such subjects bea

ing the descriptive matter on reverse sides; i.e.,

the cards previously filed in geographical, special, ov
unavailable sections, Destroy cards previously filed
in alphabetical section. Those offices maintaining two
sets of geographical cards under provisions of 87D 7b
(6) (b) T should retain but one card in each instancc,
destroying second geographical card as well as card
previously riled in alphabetical section.

withstanding their departure for foreign travel
or other circumstances requiring temporary dis-
continuance of investigation,

(C) Should a key figure become subject of a security

functionaries
Definition
A top functionary is an individual, either a member or a
nonmember of the Communist Party, to whom, because of his

. importa nce, it is necessary to give continuous investigative

attention in order to keep abreast of communism on a
national basis in the U. 8, Necessarily, such an individual
would be on a high policy level in the movement,

The term “top functionary” is not to be construed as re
quiring that individuals in this category must actually

‘hold official positions in party organizations but shall

be given a broad enough construction to include others who
are of equal importance because of their influence in the

movement itself, or their position and activities outside
the party in labor, front, or similar organizations or

movements .

Manner of designation

Prior Bureau authority necessary to designate a subject

as a top functionary. Submit such recommendation to Bureau
by letter containing reasons for the recommendation, Buresu

desires to be very selective in this matter and to concentrate
on individuals who, on a national basis, are the guiding hands

in the communist movement,

@ During the first contact, + | ee Agent
will introduce himself as a Special Agent of the
FBI by use of credentials or badge and will open.
the conversation by using an appropriate pretext
or by reciting the Bureau's responsibilities in
the security field and asking the subject whether
he can be of assistance to the Government. If the
‘individual has been a member of a basic revolutionary
organization and indicates he might cooperate, he

ces may be questioned during the initial contact about

his own activities in order to further ascertain
the extent to which he will cooperate, This
original interview is for the sole purpose of
allowing the Agent to determine whether the
individual being interviewed might be cooperative.

‘ (e) Prior Bureau authority

Subjects of active current investigations where no
interview with prior Bureau-authority has previously
been ‘conducted

contacts
In any of the above cases, no report need be submitted: when
requesting Bureau authority to interview a subject of a

{1) Since Special Agent and active security informant testimony is
undesirable, field should recruit panel of potential witnesses
locally. Some may be found among tmerican Legion contacts,

to: . plant informants, former and exposed security informants, ete.
(2) Panel members should attend public rallies and meetings, as

well as obtain literature of organizations they are covering,
(3) Yo aid panelists, exhibit photographs of individuals they
will most likely encounter at front organization functions,
(4) Handle notes, statements, and exhibits.of panelists in same
manner as other evidence, As panelists may subsequently
- become security informants, the same procedure should be
followed in handling, processing, and reporting data and
material furnished by panelists as is afforded that received
from security informants. (See section 107, volume IV, of this
. manual. )
(5) Legitimate expenses incurred by panel members should be
reimbursed in same manner as security informants.

.7 ee (6) Eliminate inactive, ineffective, or unsatisfactory panelists
on a continuing basis, At time of submission of seniannual
letter, office panel should be reviewed to make certain all
such panelists have been removed,

(7) Identities of panelists should be concealed,

ec, Administrative handling

{1) Check prospective panelists through office indices, local
police department, credit records, and established informants,
If no undesirable information is developed, initial contact
may be made with panelist to ascertain cooperativeness,

(2) Subwit names of cooperative panelists to Bureau by letter
outlining complete background and recommendation as to inclusion
in office panel. [One of the required copies of the letter to
the Bureau should consist only of the first page of the letter.

_. When approving the field's recommendation, this single—page

- . copy will be stamped "Approved" by Bureau and will be returned,]

Be certain such individuals are not plants and will consider
‘relationship with Bureau in confidence.

Advise the Bureau promptly in form suitable for dissemi-
nation of a subject's return from travel abroad in those
instances in which stops have been placed with security
services abroad through the agencies listed above, In
instances in which an individual against whom stops have
been placed has traveled to any country behind the Iron
Curtain, the Bureau shall also be furnished at thet time
with recommendations as to the desirability of interview

of such person and with advice as to whether additional
investigation concerning him is contemplated. In the event
such an interview is authorized, it shall be conducted
promptly and the case shall not be closed until such inter—
view is had and the results thereof submitted in report
form.

In some instances a security investigation of a subject not

yet included in the security index may be in progress at

the time it is found that the subject has recently departed
for a foreign country. If the evidence developed at that
time warrants the inclusion of the subject in the security
index were it not for the fact that he is outside the U. S.,
form FD-122 should be submitted recommending his inclusion
in the unavailable section of the security index. After all
initial investigation is completed, the subject's case will

‘be handied the same as those of other subjects of a similar

status who are included in the unavailable section a3 out of

*the country.

If the subject is an alien who has been deported or has
otherwise permanently departed from the U. S., he should
not be included in the security index.

_, When it is determined that ea security index subject has

departed for a foreign country, his security index card
shall be placed in the unavailable section and his case
handled in accor’ ce with the instructions set forth
under 87D 7b (6} ,b)'IV. . .

Investigative techniques

“While it is not possible to, enumerate all investigative techniques

which can and should be employed in theee investigations, there
are certain proven techniques which have been used with con-
tinued success and should be applied wherever possible.

. (a)

(»)

File reviews
Upon the initiation of a security investigation of an

individual, check the office indices and review files

thoroughly for any pertinent information on record showing
background and subversive activity of each individual

. subject, Include such information in the initial investi~

gative report.

Once a main-security file has been opened for an individual,
subsequent information received concerning him shculd be
channelized to that file. The reference cards pertaining

to the subject should be consolidated in the indices

after each check and review of files has been made,

Security informants

Success of security investigations of individuals is
primarily dependent upon a broad confidential informant
coverage within every phase of subversive activity.
Information and evidence developed through such sources
are unsurpassed in value because of possible use not only
for intelligence purposes but also as admissible evidence.

. {e) Names shall be included in the security index only when
investigation has established and reports reflect sufficient
facts and evidence to justify the inclusion of each subject
in the security index.

(£) The contents of the security index must be acourate and
correct at all times, Matters pertaining to its preparation

“and maintenance must be given preferred, expeditious, con
tinuous and detailed attention,

(g) Matters pertaining to the security index are strictly con-
fidential and are not to be mentioned or alluded to in
investigative reports,

(h) The general operation and content of the security index
must not be discussed by field personnel of the Bureau with—

. interest to one of these services is involved,
(2) Determination of dangerousness of an individual

(2) The dangerousness of a member or affiliate of a subversive

organization does not necessarily depend entirely upon his

“personal characteristics, such as. aggressiveness or a dis~

-position to violence, Although these factors must be taken

into consideration in evaluating an individual's potential

. dangerousness, other factors are essential in making this

- . determination, An individualts dangerousness also depends

upon the contribution he has made or is making in the advance~
ment of the principles and aims of the subversive movement
with which he is connected or his subversive potentialities
in the event of a national emergency, Bear in mind that a
subject active in a subversive organigation is not merely
an isolated individual but is a part of an organization of
which the purposes are opposed -to the best interests of the
. -.  UeSe An individual's loyalty to a subversive organization
’ . . and the principles thereof is a primary factor to take into
consideration in evaluating his potential dangerousness,
Factors indicating an individual's loyalty to such an organ—
ization are numerous and will vary with each case in degree.
Among such factors are?
I. Long continued membership in a subversive organization
It, Affiliation with or attendance at training schools,
especially leadership schools .
TIIe Frequent or regular attendance at organizational meetings
: and functions
IV. Subscriptions to publications of a subversive organization
- : , . Ve Possession of or continued study of revolutionary litera
ture
VIe Preparation or distribution of subversive propaganda and/or
Literature
VII. Holding positions in the subversive organization or in
other organizations of a front character which indicate
confidence of such organizations in his loyalty
VIII, Espousal of a subversive doctrine exemplified in his acts
‘and utterances
IX, Contributions to or collections of funds for the organ
. dgation , ;
Xe Recruitment of new members
XX. . Revolutionary back cground
XIT. Participation in picket lines in which the subversive organ~
. ization is -interested or which it has fostered, or in
demonstrations, riots, mass meetings, or pressure group
activity fostered by the organization

Do not fold the clipping except in the case of a very large picture

or in the case of a single word in a headline too long to fit in the
allotted space. Make certain the clipping is placed evenly on the
paper and does not hang over its edges. If necessary, a second page
may be used and the only requirement is that a margin at Least 1 1/2
inches deep should be left at the top of the page.

The large block on the right side of FD-350 has space for the insertion -
of the names of more than one newspaper. The names of news papers. .
clipped may be overprinted in this’space. Placing the page number on

circling words or by drawing arrows to direct attention,

No cover letter needed when submitting Clippings unless clarification
is required for a particular clipping. This may be handled by routing

periodicals, news pulletins, and books, obtained regularly
(vy subseription or repeated purchase) and forwarded to the
Bureau, need not be identified as to source. They should be
submitted via ordinary mail by routing slip (marked for the
attention of the Central Research Section) unless transmittal

by cover letter has been specifically requested. _Routing slips

may be used to notify the Bureau of routine administrative

matters, such as temporary suspension of a publication (e.g.,

during summer months, lack of funds), temporary delay in obtaining
or receiving particular issues of a publication, or other informa—
tion which will keep the Bureau informed relative to the status

of these publications. To avoid confusion, nonevidentiary copies

Letters shoula be used in connection with initYating action or
ceasing action to obtain publications desired by the Bureau; to
call to the attention of the Bureau specific items of information
connected with these publications; and in those instances in
which good judgment dictates that certain circumstances or
information should be recorded in letter form.

Central Research Section, informed on a current basis regarding
publications (including pooks) of potential interest that are
not included in the current List of publications which is
supplied periodically to the field and to the legal attaches.
These publications would include those published by subjects
of security or counterintelligence investigations and publications
which may otherwise have a security or counterintelligence

. significance.

(3) Bach SAC and each legal attache should insure that the handling
of publications for which his office is responsible is being
given edequate supervision at all times. Subscriptions to these
publications should be followed closely to insure that the
publications are received at the Bureau on a current basis. The
Bureau should be advised of the expiration date of the subscrip~
tion to each publication in sufficient time to enable the
Bureau to determine the necessity for renewal.

Confer with division head having supervision of the matter for
investigative clearance and with the office of the division head of

possible, and all press releases should be coordinated to eliminate any
avoidable delays.

5. In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the public interest,
no statement should be put in an announcement to the press to the effect -
that a subject either has confessed or has admitted his crimes without
specific Bureau approval. In case of doubt, consult the Bureau. When
the fact that a subject has given a confession is included in a complaint
and an inguiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment” reply should
be given, The complaint is a court record and must be left to speak for
itself,

6. On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations
in which good judgment so dictates. Emergency on-the-spot statements by
Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of

actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, includins the Bureauts full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by handling
out-of—state Leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts that
may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state—
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of

Reguesting authority for.release . C ‘
a. By teletype .

At least four hours before the time of release, developments in the

case, an outline of the release, and statement release will be made

UACB are to be furnished the Bureau.
b. By telephone where time is of essence

Confer with division head having supervision of the matter for

investigative clearance and with the office of the division head of

the Crime Records Division for final press clearance, While good

judgment must prevail, in important cases in which-a local newspaper

deadline is approaching, it may be advisable to telephone the Bureau

for clearance. .
Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAC or in his absence
by the ASAC.
Releases are to be made both at headquarters and the local area affected -
py developments, All material prepared for the public must be reviewed
word for word, I% is not to contain words or phrases which might be _
regarded as objectionable or offensive to a member of any race, creed, or
religious sect. Thorough advance planning should be utilized wherever
possible, and all press releases should be coordinated to eliminate any
avoidable delays.
In the absence of an overriding consideration pearing on "the public. interest,
no statement should be put in an announcement to the press: to the effect ~
that a subject either has confessed or has admitted his’ crimes without
specific Bureau approval. In case of doubt, consult the Bureau. When
the fact that a subject has given a confession is included in a, complaint
and an inquiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment" reply should
be given. The complaint is a court record and must be deft to speak for
itself. .
On-the-s pot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations
in which good judgment so dictates, Emergency on-the-spot statements by
Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of (
fugitive or criminal in. gun battle. If badly wanted fugitive apprehended
in remote area and SAC absent, Agent may, in rare emergency only and where
time of essence, furnish bare details. Contact by SAC with press should
be effected immediately where press desires further details.
In the normal process of issuing press releases,[either local or national,
SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances for television and radio,
provided no interviews are conducted and there is absolutely no elaboration
over and above the original press release. These conditions should be made
known in advance to television and radio station representatives when such
requests are received. ] .
In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never suggest
or request a reporter or another representative of a newspaper or similar
publication to withhold the publication of news, In the event that special ©
circumstances do exist, it will be necessary to clear with the Bureau prior
to making eny such request.
In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious “basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full
leboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by handling
out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts that
may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for.
the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state—
meat requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of
the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized.
Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press
release file if exists.

The Bureau desires to receive publications of -seouri ty interest at the
SOG for purposes of information, research, and intelligence. Conse~-
quently, it is requested that evidentiary copies of publications be
retained in the field and. only nonevidentiary copies. be forwarded to
the Bureau by routing slip.
be. Manner of handling and forwarding nonevidentiary copies of publica~
tions .
(1) Nonevidentiary copies of newspapers, magazines, journals,
periodicals, news bulletins, and books, obtained regularly
(by subscription or repeated purchase) and forwarded to the
Bureau, need not be identified as to source, They should be
submitted via ofdinary mail by routing slip (marked for. the
attention of the Central Research Unit) unless transmittal
by cover letter has been specifically requested, Routing slips
may be used to notify the Bureau of routine administrative
matters, such as temporary suspension of a.publication (a.8.,
during summer months, lack of funds), temporary delay in obtaining
or receiving particular issues of a publication, or other informa-
tion which will keep the Bureau ixiformed relative to the status
of these publications. To avoid confusion, nonevidentiary copies
which have been marked for identification (source, Agent, date,
and place of acquisition) should be further annotated: "Not
Evidence.”

Letters should be used in connection with initiating action or
ceasing action to obtain publications desired by the Bureaus to
call to the attention of the Bureau specific items of information
connected with these publications; and in those’ instances in
which good judgment dictates that certain circumstances or
information should be recorded in letter form.

(2) Bach SAC and each legal attache must keep the Bureau, attention
Central Research Unit, informed on & current basis regarding
publications (including books) of potential interest that are
not included in the current list of publications which is
supplied periodically to the field and to the legal attaches.
These publications would include those published by subjects
of security or counterintelligence investigations and publications
which may otherwise have a security or counterintelligence
significance,

(3) Each SAC and each legal attache should insure that the handling
of publications for which his office is responsible is being
given adequate supervision at all times. Subscriptions to these
publications should be followed closely to insure that tho ~
publications are received at the Bureau on 2 current basis. The
Bureau should be advised of the expiration date of tha subsorip-
tion to each publication in sufficient time to enable the
Bureau to determine the necessity for renewal,

regarded as objectionable or offensive to 2 member of any race, creed, or

In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the ‘public inter-
est, no statement should be put in an announcement to the press to the
effect that a subject either has confessed or has admitted his crimes
without specific Bureau approval. In case of doubt, consult the Bureau.
When the fact that a subject has given a confession is included in a com-
plaint and an inquiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment" reply

with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
‘the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han-~
dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts
that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state-
ment requires prior Bureau approval in svery such instance, and the

SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han~
dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts
that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state-
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the

Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnisbed known facts of

the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized,

Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press
release file if exists.

In connection with service awards to Bureau personnel, SACs may provide
news media with a photograph and a brief biographical sketch of employee,

_ No employee may submit to a personal interview by a newsman in connection

with such an award or under any other circumstances, for that matter,
without prior Bureau authority. This does not preclude an SAC or other
Bureau official from issuing news releases in accordance with existing —
Bureau policy. ]

SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue 2 statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han-
dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative effcrts
that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be either assumed or declared, The issuance of this state-
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of
the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized.

In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or
bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the

a. By teletype
At least four hours before the time of release, developments.in the
case, an outline of the release, and statement release will be made
UACB are to be furnished the Bureau.

b. By telephone where time is of essence
Confer with division head having supervision of the matter for
investigative clearance and with the office of the division head of
the Crime Records Division for final press clearance. While good
judgment must prevail, in important cases in which a local newspaper
deadline is approaching, it may be advisable to telephone the Bureau

. for clearance.

3. Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAC or in his. absence ;
by the ASAC,. ‘)

4, Releases are to be made both at headquarters and the local area affected.
by developments, All material prepared for the public must be reviewed
word for word. It is not to contain words or phrases which might be
regarded as objectionable or offensive to a member of any race, creed, or
religious sect. Thorough advance planning should be utilized wherever
possible, and all press releases should be coordinated to eliminate any
avoidable delays.

5. In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the public inter~
est, no statement should be put in an announcement to the press to the
effect that a subject either has confessed or has admitted his crimes
without specific Bureau approval. In case of doubt, consult the Bureau,
When the fact that a subject has given a confession is included in a com-
plaint and an inquiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment” reply
should be given. The compleint is a court record and must-be left to

- Speak for itself.

6, On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergancy situations
in which good judgment so dictates. Emergency on~the-spot statements by
Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of (

o™ ue
Nee"

fugitive or criminal in gun battle. If badly wanted fugitive apprehended
in remote area end SAC absent, Agent may, in rare emergency only and where
time of essence, furnish bare details. Contact by SAC with press should
be effected immediately where press desires further details.

7, %In those instances in which a press release is issued at SOG, television
and radio media should be merely provided with a written copy of the press
release, and Bureau personnel should not submit to live; filmed, or tape-
recorded interviews of any kind, including the reading of the release it~
self, without prior Bureau authority, Tact and diplomacy must be exercised
in declining to participate in such interviews. With respect to local
press. releases, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances on
television and radio provided no interviews are conducted and there is
absolutely no elaboration over and above the ‘original press release.
These conditions should be made known in advance to television and radio |
station representatives when such requests are received.[Reading of these |
local prass releases on the telephone to the news media should be done by
the SAC or ASAC,]

8. In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never suggest
or request a reporter ox another representative of a newspaper or similar
publication to withhold the publication of news. In the event that special

circumstances do exist, it will be necessary to clear with the Bureau prior
to making any such request.

be advisable to telephone the Bureau for clearance,
Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAG or in his absence
by the ASAC, ;
Releases are to be made both at headquarters and the local area affected
by developments. All material prepared for the public must be reviewed
word for word. It is not to contain words or phrases which might be
regarded as objectionable or offensive to a member of any race, creed, or-
religious sect. Thorough 2edvance planning should be utilized wherever

- possible, and all press releases should be coordinated to eliminate any

avoidable delays.

In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the public inter-
est, no statement should be put in an announcement to the press to the
effect that a subject either has confessed or has admitted his crimes
without specific Bureau approval. In case of doubt, consult the Bureau,
When the fact that a subject has given 2 confession is included in a com-
plaint and an inguiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment" reply
should be given. The complaint is a court record and must be left to

speak for itself :

On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations

in which good judgment so dictates. Emergency on-the-spot statements by
Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of
fugitive or criminal in gun battle. If badly wanted fugitive apprehended
in remote area and SAC absent, Agent may, in rare emergency only and where
time of essence, furnish bare details. Contact by SAG with press should

be effected immediately where press desires further details.

In those instances in which a press release is issued at[FBIEQ, |television
and radio media should be merely provided with a written copy of the press
release, and Bureau personnel should not submit to Tive, filmed, or tape-
recorded interviews of any kind, including the reading of the release it~
self, without prior Bureau authority. Tact and diplomacy must be exercised
in declining to participate in such interviews. With respect to local
press releases, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances on
television and radio provided no interviews are conducted and there is
absolutely no elaboration over and above the original press release,

These conditions should be made known in advance to television and radio
station representatives when such requests are received. Reading of these
local press releases on the telephone to the news media should be done by
the SAG or ASAC.

Tn the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never suggest
or request a reporter or another representative of a newspaper or similar
publication to withhold the publication of news. In the event that special
circumstances do exist, it will be necessary to clear with the Bureau prior
to making any such request. ca

SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the voress indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han-~
dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts
that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement
indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance cf this state-
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of
the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized.

In contacts with the press concerning 2 bank robbery, bank burglary, or
bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the

amount of loot obtained. Specific questions by members of the press
concerning amount of loot may be answered only following the arrest of

an individual or individuals for violation of the Federal bank robbery
statute.

Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press
release file if exists.

In’connection with service awards to Bureau personnel, SACs may provide
news media with a photograph and a brief biographical sketch of employee.
No employee may submit to a personal interview by a newsman in connection
with such an award or under any other circumstances, for that matter,
without prior Bureau authority. This does not precinude an SAC or other
Bureau official from issuing news releases in accordance with existing
Bureau policy.

-Burean personnel, including SACs and ASACs, are not to participate

in give-and-take news conferences without prior Bureau authority
including clearance by the Press Services Office. This will be
permitted only in the rarest of circumstances where mitigating facts
clearly indicate it is to the Bureau's best interests to participate.]

SACs must be alert in recommending SAC contacts that they are not oro- €

posing individuals wio because of business connections or personal
activities or close association with other persons will be involved in
unfavorable publicity or become the subject of adverse investigative
activity, or who will capitalize on their friendly association with
the SAc.

Except where a suitable file is already in existence, a dead file in

-classification 80 is to be opened on each contact,

4 three- by five-inch card on each contact is to be retained in an SAC
contact box in the exclusive possession of the SAC, Each card is to
contain:

a, Name of the contact

b. Office and home addresses and telephone numbers

c. .Nature of service which can be received

a. Any comments which would be helpful in handling the individual

e. Date of first contact and name of SAC first developing the contact
(Show in the lower left corner on the front of the card, )

f. Dates of contacts by the Sac (to be entered on the reverse side of

the card in longhand). Contacts more frequent than quarterly should
not be listed.

g. <Any necessary descriptive data
Each contact is to be indexed in the general indices, The card is to

show the name of the individual, date of preparation, and the notation,
"See SAC."

The frequency of personal contact with SAC contacts is left to the
discretion of the SAC; contacts should be evaluated periodically to
determine their effectiveness and the desirability of their continuance. ]
Advise Bureau immediately when a contact is discontinued UACB. If-the <
contact is transferred or moves to another city located within another
field division, 2a copy of the communication advising of the discontinuance
should be designated for that field division, Also advise field division

of background information re contact. : (

Advise Bureau promptly of changes of addresses or status of SAC contacts.
Each office must submit a complete alphabetical roster of SAC contacts
to reach the Bureau ‘by the first week of November each year. If there
are any changes in address, employment, or other pertinent data, such
information should be set forth. If there is no change in status, so
states , ,
From time to time, the Bureau sends these contacts reprints of speeches
and other material to assist in making them more "FBI minded" and

aware of some of the problems confronting us. Any indication that such.
material is not welcomed by any SAC contact should be made known to the
Bureau without delay.

Immediately upon assuming the duties of SAC, such SAC should visit all
persons listed as SAC contacts and in addition leading officials located

in the field division,

SECTION 6, PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis
with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to
the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to
actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them
every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's, full
laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han-
dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts
that may indicate any Federal violation, At no time should this statement
indicate that-the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative
jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for
the incident be sither assumed or declared. The issuance of this state~
ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the
Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of
the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized. .

In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or
bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the

amount of loot obtained. Specific questions by members of the press
concerning amount of loot may be answered only following the arrest of

an individual or individuals for violation of the Federal bank robbery
statute,

Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in ‘ease file and press
release file if exists.

In connection with service awards to Bureau personnel, SACs may provide
news media with a photograph and a brief biographical sketch of employee.
Wo employees may submit to a personal interview by a newsman in connection
with such an award or under any other circumstances, for that matter,
without prior Bureau authority. This does not preclude an SAC or other
Bureau official from issuing news releases in accordance with existing
Bureau policy.

Bureau personnel, including SAGs and ASACs, are not to participate

in give-and-take news conferences without prior Bureau authority
including clearance by the Press Services Office. This will be

permitted only in the rarest of circumstances where mitigating facts
clearly indicate it is to the Bureau's best interests to participate.

The speech program is the personal responsibility of the SAC, and the
SAC or ASAC should handie principal commitments. If neither’ available,

.these can be handled by an experienced and weil~informed Agent
- approved for the commitment by the SAC or ASAC. Good judgment should

dictate when a manuscript should be submitted to FBIHQ for. approval in
advance of a speaking engagement, particularly in regard to radio and
television appearances,

It is not necessary to advise FBIHQ of each speaking engagement. Each
office will maintain for a minimum of one year and one regular office
inspection a control file in connection with acceptances and declinations

-of speech invitations. Each year on January 10th and on July 10th.

each office will submit to FBIHQ a statistical report of speaking
commitments handled. This will be divided into engagements by the SAC,
the ASAC, and other Agent Supervisors; and will be further subdivided
into speeches as well as radio, television, and Career Day appearances
by these three groups.

-Each office should maintain a speech material file for the use of speakers»

This should include Law Enforcement Bulletin items, interesting case
material, magazine articles, research literature, newspaper clippings
pertaining to law enforcement matters of interest, and items of value in
connection with public appearances of Bureau representatives. In addition
to being maintained in current status, this speech material should be
indexed as to subject matter in-the office files.

Circular letters must be approved in advance by the Bureau and sent in
by the office initiating the request.

SACs may approve the use of a circular letter directed to banking—

type institutions within their own divisions to expedite circularization
of known serial numbers of money included in the loot taken in a bank
robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny. On a highly selective basis,
on approval of the SAC, leads may be set out to contiguous offices to
circularize banking-—type institutions in those divisions, and the Bureau
should be notified that this action is being taken unless advised to

the ‘contrary. Communications setting out such leads must include suf-
ficient facts to enable the Bureau to properly evaluate and justify the
additional circularigzation. In all other cases prior Bureau approval
must be obtained in accordance with existing rules governing circular

_ietters. In all instances the circular letter must include the following:

a. <A brief concise statement concerning the bank robbery, bank burglary,
or bank larceny and the fact that included in the loot or money
taken was money, the serial numbers of which are known

release of information by personnel of the Department of Justice
relating to criminal and civil proceedings states:
"(a) Generale (1) The availability to news media of information in
criminal and civil cases is a matter which has become increasingly a
subject of concern in the administration of justicee The purpose of
this statement is to formulate specific guidelines for the release of
such information by personnel of the Department of Justice.
"(2) While the release of information for the purpose of influencing a
‘trial is, of course, always improper, there are valid reasons for making
available to the public information about the administration of the lawo
The task of striking a fair balance between the protection of individuals
accused of crime or involved in civil proceedings with the Government
and public understandings of the problems of controlling crime and
administering government depends largely on the exercise of sound judg-.
ment by those responsible for administering the law and by representa~
tives of the press and other media.
"(3) Inasmuch as the Department of Justice has generally fulfilled
its responsibilities with awareness and understanding of the competing
needs in this area, this statement, to a considerable extent, reflects
and formalizes the standards to which representatives of the Department
have adhered in the past. Nonetheless, it will be helpful in ensuring
uniformity of practice to set forth the following guidelines for all
personnel of the Department of Justice.
"(4) Because of the difficulty and importance of ‘the questions they
( raise, it is felt that some portions of the matters covered by this
statement, such as the authorization to make available Federal con-
viction records and a description of items seized at the time of arrest,
should be the subject of continuing review and consideration by the
Department on the basis of experience and suggestions from those within
and outside the Department.
"(b) Guidelines to criminal actions. mes) These guidelines shall
apply to the release of information to news media from the time a .
person is the subject of a criminal investigation until any proceeding
resulting from such as investigation has been terminated by trial or
‘ otherwise.
(2) At no time shall personnel of the Department of Justice furnish
any statement or information for the purpose of influencing the out-
‘ come of a defendant's trial, nor shall personnel of the Department

to be disseminated by means of public communication, if such a statement

3.2 News Releases
Fairness, accuracy, and sensitivity to the rights of defendants, as
well as to the public's right to know, must prevail in all dealings

C with the news media. Favoritism should be shown toward no newsman
or no news medium. .

Information concerning the FBI, including information regarding arrests
and other developments in cases investigated by the FBI, is disclosed
to news media, including newspapers, news magazines, news services, and
radio and television networks or stations, (a) as news releases or
announcements, initiated by the FBI, and (b) as responses to inquiries
emanating from newsmene

Each field office should maintain a control file containing all news

releases issued by the office since the last inspection.

ae "One-Office! news releases ;
The vast majority of news releases made by field offices are issued
to announce arrests in FBI cases. The provisions of Section 50.2
clearly apply to all of these. If an SAC feels that an exception
to those provisions should be made in any individual case, he should
make his views known to the Assistant Directors of (a) the sub-
stantive division involved and (b) the External Affairs Divisione
Exceptions to the instructions provided in Section 50.2 can be
approved only by the Attorney General or the Deputy Attorney General,
not by any official of the FBI.

SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC con errs

All news releases made by field offices should be issued over the
name of the SAC. They should be issued to all interested news media
in the field office territory as simultaneously as possible; and they
should provide as full an account of the facts as can be disclosed
within the provisions of Section 50.2. In news releases announcing
arrests or other developments attributable to the joint efforts of
the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, appropriate recognition
should, of course, be given to those other agencies.

SACs may authorize other experienced Special Agents, including
Resident Agents, in their field offices to read or deliver news
releases issued over the SAC's name to news media after the SAC
has approved those news releasese However, those Special Agents
should not expand upon the information in the news releases; and
they should answer any inquiry or request for additional informa-
tion by courteously telling the newsman involved that his inquiry
or request will be brought to the attention of the SAC as quickly
as possible for his consideration and action. The reason for the
policy of referring all such matters to the SAC is to assure both
uniformity and accuracy of any supplemental information that is
provided to news mediae

SACs also may authorize other experienced Special Agents to record
news releases in compliance with. requests of radio and television

.. Stations. However, only SACs or ASACs should make live or filmed

television appearances involving the reading of news releaseso

SACs have the option of accepting or declining such time-consuming
requests made by radio and television stations. If declined,

however, the declinations should be tactfully worded and explained

so as to avoid any impression of partiality. If a request is

accepted, the radio and/or television station involved should under
stand that the SAC or the Special Agent designated by the SAC will
merely read the text of the news release and will not answer questions.

On occasion, SACs also issue news releases or make announcements
dealing with administrative matters such as transfers of the SAC
or ASAC of the field office or presentation of service awards to
personnel of the field office. On such occasions, photographs

and biographical sketches of the personnel involved may be made
available to the news mediae However, requests to-interview these
employees about their official duties and experiences should
tactfully be declined.

@ PART If 7 @ 6A
SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

So as to minimize the opportunities for criminal elements to

harass Special Agents and their families, neither photographs nor
biographical sketches of Special Agents should be made available

to news media in connection with news releases, announcements, or
inquiries pertaining to FBI investigationse The sole exception is
in the case of employees who are killed in line of duty, in which
instances the release of photographs and biographical data should,
be coordinated with the Administrative Division and the External
Affairs Division. .
"Multi-Office"™ news releases

News releases announcing arrests or other important developments

in wide-ranging investigations often require close coordination

and simultaneous release to the press by two or more field offices.
The External Affairs Division should be consulted before any such
news release is made, and consideration should be given to the
question of whether a national news release is merited. .

National news releases

As a general rule, national news releases announcing arrests or other
investigative developments are issued only in exceptional cases
involving (1) prominent persons, such as well~known business and
civic leaders, entertainers, athletes, or officials of local, county,
state, or Federal Government; (2) persons of -national notoriety, .
such as members of the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives"; (3) persons.
arrested for crimes that have attracted nationwide interest, such

as prevailed in the 1950 robbery of Brink's Ince, at Boston, ©
Massachusetts, and the 1964 murder of three young civil rights workers
in Neshoba County, Mississippi; and (4) persons whose crimes have
international ramifications, such as espionage agents or fugitives
who have fled abroad. The heads of headquarters and field divisions
should assure that the essential facts of all such cases, including
anticipated developments therein, are promptly brought to the atten-
tion of the External Affairs Division on a continuing basis.

National news releases generally will be issued in Washington, D. Ce
However, copies will be furnished to all interested field offices so
that the SACs of those offices can make them available to local news
media within minutes of their release in Washington.

SACs should not expand upon the contents of national news releases
without approval of both the substantive division involved and the
External Affairs Division. .

4. News Media Inquiries <
There are two categories of news media inquiries. The first involves
routine inquiries received at the field office regarding either investi-=
gative or administrative matterse These should be answered by the SAC
or ASAC within the guidelines indicated abovee

In responding to such inquiries, SACs and ASACs should be courteous,
factual, and as helpful as possible. They should, however, avoid -
answering hypothetical questions ox questions that would require them
to express personal opinions on matters of intense local or national
controversye .

_ The second category involves inquiries from the news media’ in emergency
situations. Often these are received by Special Agents at the scenes
of arrests, gun battles, or other fast-moving developments in investigationse

Unless undercover assignments or similar overriding circumstances dic-—

tate otherwise, Special Agents who are approached by newsmen at the scenes:
of fast-moving * developments in FBI cases should (a) identify themselves

as "a Special Agent of the FBI," (b) furnish the name of the field office
‘to which they are assigned, and (c) ‘state the general nature of. the inves~
tigative operations, stich as "We are here to serve an arrest (or a search)
warrant.'' Requests for additional information should be answered by
courteously referring the newsman to the field office or to the tem-

porary field headquarters if such a temporary field headquarters has

been established in the areas

Only SACs or ASACS should participate in question~and-answer interviews

with representatives of any news medium at the scenes of fast-moving
developments in FBI casese In emergency situations, however, Special -
Agents can relay reporters' questions to the SAC by telephone or radio; (
and the SAC's responses thereto can be furnished to the reporters in

the SAC's name by a Special Agent. In other than such emergency situa~

tions, Special Agents should courteously refer newsmen to the SAC or

ASAC for answers to their questions; and Special Agentst investigative
responsibilities attendant to such fast-moving developments must take
precedence over questions or inquiries of newsmen.

No FBI employee should knowingly furnish an erroneous, deceptive, or

misleading answer to a news media inquiry. In the overwhelming majority

of cases, an unequivocal and definitive answer can be given reporters!

questions regarding whether the FBI is, or is not, investigating a

specific criminal act, as well as the reason why we have or have not

instituted investigation. However, in kidnap-for-ransom cases and .
related crimes involving a threat against human life, neither the fact

that the crime has occurred, nor the fact that the FBI is investigating

it, should be disclosed or confirmed without the approval of the sub-

stantive investigative division and the External Affairs Division.

Due to the sensitivity of many banking-type institutions to publicity
concerning the amount of loot obtained in robberies, burglaries, and
larcenies of financial institutions, such information should not be
disclosed to news media without the concurrence of the General Investi-
gative Division and the External Affairs Divisione

Under no circumstances should any employee ask or suggest that a news~
man withhold information from the public without the concurrence of the
substantive investigative division and the External Affairs Division.
5- Fugitive Publicity

News releases and other public disclosures designed to solicit public
cooperation in the apprehension of FBI fugitives may contain more facts
about the fugitive's criminal background than are permissible in news
releases and announcements regarding arrestse

In publicity regarding FBI fugitives, extreme care should be taken to
avoid statements that brand a fugitive as guilty of a crime for which
he has not been convicted. Arrest numbers or other data that identify
a photograph as having been made in connection with a past arrest or

_ imprisonment should not appear in photographs of fugitives that are
furnished to news medias .

Investigative Division and the External Affairs Division; and they should
not hesitate to consult the External Affairs Division regarding ques-
tions or problems. that arise in any area of news media relationse

[

Field offices should coordinate all fugitive publicity with the Special
6. Liaison With News Media
‘, SACs who consider it necessary or advisable to do so may use one or
more experienced Special Agents to assist in facilitating prompt and
effective liaison with the news mediae Such Agents will not be spokes~
men for their field offices.e They may furnish information to news
media in the SAC's name after it has been approved by the SAC. They .
also may assist in preparing news releases, as well as responses to
news media inquiries. These Agents should devote no more time to such
news media liaison duties than.is absolutely necessary.
< It is the intent of these guidelines to facilitate a more open stance
and, thereby, a mutually beneficial relationship between FBI and news
media representatives. SACs, as well as other employees acting for them
in news media relations, should be as responsive as practical and pos-
sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmene The term "No comment"
should be avoided except when its use 1s absolutely necessary. If an
SAC does not know the answer to a newsman's question, he should have no
hesitancy in stating, "I don't know," and/or, depending upon the nature
of the inquiry, telling the newsman that he will contact him (the news-
man) as soon as he has information that can be furnished to him.

SACs should avail themselves of every opportunity to meet and become
well acquainted with leading citizens throughout their field divisions,
including representatives of all important news media. They should seek
to cultivate a personal, as well as an official, relationship with these
individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties make
possible. ‘

It is not necessary to advise FBIHQ of each speaking engagement. Each
office will maintain for a minimum of one year and one regular office.
inspection a control file in connection with acceptances and declinations
of speech-invitations. Each year on January 10th and on July 10th.

each office will submit to FBIHQ a statistical report of speaking
commitments handled. This will be divided into engagements by the SAC,
the. ASAC, and other Agent Supervisors; and will be further subdivided
into speeches as well as radio, television, and Career Day appearances
by these three groups.

Each office should maintain a speech material file for the use of speakers.
This should include Law Enforcement Bulletin items, interesting case

primarily to supplying SACs facts regarding current happenings, including
both administrative and investigative developments, that are: ‘topics of
nationwide press coverage and public interest.

SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS

Under no circumstances should any employee ask or suggest that a news~
man withhold information from the public without the concurrence of the
substantive investigative division and the External Affairs Division.
Fugitive Publicity

News releases and other public disclosures designed to solicit public
cooperation in the apprehension of FBI fugitives may contain more facts
about the fugitive’s criminal background than are permissible in news
releases and announcements regarding arrestse

In publicity regarding FBI fugitives, extreme care should be taken to
avoid statements that brand a fugitive as guilty of a crime for which
he has not been convicted. Arrest numbers or other data that identify
a photograph as having been made in connection with a past arrest or
imprisonment should not appear in photographs of fugitives that are
furnished to news mediae

Field offices should coordinate all fugitive publicity with the Special
Investigative Division and the External Affairs Division; and they should
not hesitate to consult the External Affairs Division regarding ques~
tions or problems that arise in any area of news media relations.

Liaison With News Media

SACs who consider it necessary or advisable to do so may use one or

_ more experienced Special Agents to assist in facilitating prompt and

effective liaison with the news media» Such Agents will not be spokes~
men for their field offices. They may furnish information to news
media in the SAC's name after it has been approved by the SAC. They
also may assist in preparing news releases, as well as responses to
news media inquiriese These Agents should devote no more time to such
news media liaison duties than is absolutely necessary

It is the intent of these guidelines to facilitate a more open stance
and, thereby, a mutually beneficial relationship between FBI and news
media representatives. SACs, as well as other employees acting for them
in news media relations, should be as responsive as practical and pos-
sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmen.e The term "No comment"
should be avoided except when its use is absolutely necessary. If an
SAC does not know the answer to a newsman's question, he should have no
hesitancy in stating, "I don't know," and/or, depending upon the nature
of the inquiry, telling the newsman that he will contact him (the news
man) aS soon as he has information that can be furnished to hime

SACs should avail themselves of every opportunity to meet and become
well acquainted with leading citizens throughout their field divisions,
including representatives of all important news medias They should seek
to cultivate a personal, as well as an official, relationship with these
individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties make
possible.

[Suggestions and submissions

Ze

Each field office is required to submit three suggestions for byline
articles from each state within its territory. Prior to submitting
suggestions, proposed authors may be approached to-determine their
willingness to prepare an article and to identify the scope of their
topic. However, proposed authors should not be asked to prepare a
manuscript until the Bureau notifies the field office that the sug-.
gestion has been accepted and the article is requested. In contacts
with any proposed or potential authors, absolutely no representations
should be made which. would obligate the FBI to any publishing com-
mitments since many factors determine which articles received are
ultimately published.

In suggesting featured articles, consideration should mainly be given
to manuscripts concerning proven programs and techniques of law
enforcement which may be of significant value to other agencies.
Suggestions should be concerned with training, research, or opera-
tional matters. Avoid items of a "newsletter" nature and matters
which have a limited scope of interest in the profession.

Each field office should be alert to exceptional photographs which

could be recommended for use as a cover for the magazinee The Bureau.

wishes to project on the Bulletin’s cover the best image of law en-

‘ fosicement. Attention-getting photographs showing officers giving aid

to helpless citizens, protecting the weak, comforting the injured, or
apprehending the guilty are examples of those that should be recom-
mended when they come to the attention of field offices.
Transmit all material for the magazine to the Bureau under the
caption:

( C. SPEECHES

i, The speech program is the personal responsibility of the SAC, and the
SAC or ASAC should handle principal commitments. If neither available,
these can be handled by an experienced and well-informed Agent
approved for the commitment by the SAC or ASAC. Good judgment should
dictate when a manuscript should be submitted to FBIHQ for approval in
advance of a speaking engagement, particularly in regard to radio and
television appearances,

2. It is not necessary to advise FBIHQ of each speaking engagement. Each
office will maintain for a minimum of one year and one regular office
inspection a control file in connection with acceptances and declinations
of speech invitations. Each year on January 10th and on July 10th.

> each office will submit to FBIHQ a statistical report of speaking
commitments handled. This will be divided into engagements by the SAC,
the ASAC, and other Agent Supervisors; and will be further subdivided

s into speeches as well as radio, television, and Career Day appearances

by these three groups.

3. Each office should maintain a speech material file for the use of speakers.
This should include Law Enforcement Bulletin items, interesting case
material, magazine articles, research literature, newspaper clippings _
pertaining to law enforcement matters of interest, and items of value in
connection with public appearances of Bureau representatives. In addition
to being maintained in current status, this speech material should be
indexed as to subject matter in the office files.

he To include as many pertinent photographs as possible to make the
write-up interesting. The photographs should not necessarily be of
subjects alone but should be of paraphernalia used by the criminal,
photographs of unusual loot obtained, scenes of various locales, etc.
If photographs submitted do not belong to the FBI, it is necessary to
inform the Bureau of their source and whether the owner of the photo~
graphs has any objection to their being reproduced in publications.
i. Each portion of the write-up should be documented as to the identity
of the report or other commmication from which facts were taken. The
documentation should be set off by parentheses and follow immediately
the portion of the write-up to which it pertains.

( c. Purchase of individual publications at Bureau request
When the Bureau requests a2 field office to purchase and forward one

or more copies of publications of security interest, it is desired,
unless otherwise specifically stated, that nonevidentiary copies be
forwarded. With respect to these specific Bureau requests for the
purchase of individual copies of publications, the requested non-—
evidentiary copies should be forwarded to the Bureau by routing slip
via ordinary mail,
a. Obtaining and retaining evidentiary copies of publications in the
field
When the submitting office determines, or is advised by the Bureau,
that a certain issue of a publication (which has already been for~
. warded to the Bureau) is deemed to be of sufficient importance to
, warrant the obtaining of an evidentiary copy of that issue, a copy
thereof should be obtained through live informants or by having an
Agent purchase a copy at a public outlet for that publication, if
confidentially feasible. The evidentiary copy, bearing complete
identifying data, should be retained as evidence in the field office,
and the Bureau should be so advised by letter, setting forth
complete identifying data concerning the evidentiary copy, together
,  * with the caption and file number of the file in which the evidentiary
copy is retained,
e. Transmittal of evidentiary copies of publications to the Bureau
‘Instances in which the field will transmit evidentiary copies of publica
tions to the Bureau will be limited almost exclusively to the submission
i . “of copies of foreign language publications for translation of certain
material for use as evidence. In these instances, it is required that:
1 Each copy submitted bear complete identifying data
4 ; (2 The material be’ forwarded in sealed envelopes’ labeled “Evidence
cee we bs “The méterial be forwarded via registered mail
; (4) @he cover letter of transmittal be marked for the attention of
the FBI Laboratory; state clearly that it is contemplated that the
( _ publications (and..translations. thereof). will be used as evidence;
identify clearly the enclosed publications as to title, place of
publication, and date of issue; show the method of transmittal
of the evidence to the Bureaus; and indicate the desired disposition
of the evidence.
f. Calling attention of Bureau to publications of security interest
When a field office obtains an evidentiary copy of a publication which
it desires to call to the Bureau's attention, a letter should be
addressed to the Bureau to that end. Title, author, publisher, and the
: general nature should be very briefly set forth, together with the identi-
| fying data proper to the evidéntiary copy. The Letter should be
informative, not requiring an answer... A nonevidentiary duplicate copy
| of that publication should be enclosed with the letter, if readily
available. If a nonevidentiary copy is not readily aveilable, that
fact should be stated in the letter. If the Bureau desires to
obtain a nonevidentiary duplicate copy of the publication for review,
efforts will be made to obtain it through the appropriate field office.
If not obtained, the office possessing the evidentiary copy will be
requested to forward to the Bureau a Photostat thereof.

[N. BUREAU~WIDE INFORMATION PROGRAM REGARDING MATTERS OF NATIONAL INTEREST (

This program is coordinated by the External Affairs Division and is devoted ~

primarily to supplying SACs facts regarding current happenings, including
both administrative and investigative developments, that are topics of
nationwide press coverage and public interest.

All such communications to SACs bear the caption "BURBAU-WIDE INFORMATION
PROGRAM" and are in the form of either teletypes or airtels, dependent upon
the exigencies of the situation.

The purpose of this program is to assure that each SAC possesses the key .
facts concerning important happenings anywhere within the FBI that command
widespread public interest. Information furnished to SACs under this program
should prove helpful to them, as well as to other FBI personnel, in answer-.
ing questions, correcting misunderstandings, and dispelling false rumors

that may exist either within or without the ranks of the FBI. In some
instances, however, the information may be of such a nature that it cannot

be disclosed in whole or in part to outsiders. In fact, occasionally it is
necessary to restrict discussion and disclosure of the information even within
FBIHQ and field offices. Guidelines furnished on .each communication should

be strictly followed.

FBIHQ and field office personnel should promptly bring to the attention of

the External Affairs Division all current items ane Seven ouments that they o-
feel merit consideration for inclusion under this program,

nothing transpired of potential prosecutive value with respect to the
individual, FD-306 should list the substantive case file number

or should list subject's name and it will not be necessary to staple

a copy of the informant's statement to FD-306. When informant's

statement contains references to large number of individuals and/or

organizations, and exceeds two pages, consider channelizing to sub-
stantive case file only those portions of statement which apply to
particular individual or organization. Of course, entire statement
should be filed in informant's subfile. This procedure should be
employed unless logical reason dictates otherwise. When preparing
lengthy channelizing memoranda reporting material of interest to other
offices, limit the number of copies prepared for each other such office
to two. Clearly indicate next to the name of the receiving office, the
number of the page containing information pertinent to that office and
note on cover page that distribution of material to the receiving field
office files is left to discretion of the receiving office. If the
channelizing memorandum includes names of individuals who merely
attended a meeting or gathering and played no important role, the
reporting office is to attach to the channelizing memorandum’ a one
page memorandum listing the names of all individuals who were merely

in attendance and had no important function. The preparation and

distribution of the additional copies of the one-page attachment are

left to the discretion of the receiving office.

ge Prior to any prosecution or administrative hearing, advise trial
attorney that informant not only furnished information concerning
instant case but also provided other statements not pertinent to

case at issue. Trial attorney will thus be prepared in event in-

formant testifies on direct examination or cross~examination that

he furnished information in addition to his testimony.

places; purpose of meeting or activity being related; iden-
tities of speakers and persons present, plus their known status
in any group; and specific activity or comments of individuals
present.

(4) Separate statements should be prepared for each meeting or

separate activity in which informants engage and should be
dictated by Agent as if informant were preparing them himself.

(5) Information, after being reduced to writing, should be read
promptly by informant and acknowledged by affixing his code
name on each page.

(6) After informant authenticates statement, contacting Agent
should prepare cover sheet, form FD-306, which should be stapled
to it. Thereafter statement should be handled as written ons.

(7) Oral information furnished by informant purely of lead valus
should be included in office memorandum by Agent and should
not be initialed by informant or exhibited to him or treated
as avidence,.

3. Transmission of information

Be

Ge

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting Agent by
informants when possible. Careful consideration should be given to
full security of all such contacts. They should never be mailed to
field office or resident agency. If they cannot be obtained per-
sonally by contacting Agent, obtain confidential post office boxes
for their receipt.

Confidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious
names and not under names of persons who may be listed in post
office directory. More than one informant may send statements to

a post office box, but consideration should be given to obtaining
post office boxes in different post office stations to prevent
suspicion on part of postal employees,

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address of another
confidential post office box obtained under fictitious name.
Statements should be collected at post office boxes regularly, but
time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation where-
by same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office box for
extended period of time,

When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest,
he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting Agent or
office by most appropriate means of communication.

4. Handling of lead information

ae

De.

All lead information obtained from informant must be run out to
logical conclusion.

If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case, tickler
card should be prepared to follow informant and take other logical
steps to obtain additional identifying data. Restrict tickler cards
to information which would warrant investigation if identity
established. If no identification is made after reasonable effort,
prepare memorandum for informant's subfile.

5. Handling documentary material furnished by informants

Be

be

Pamphlets and similar documentary material furnished by informants
should have placed thereon informant's code name.

Informant should affix date he received material, If informant can-
not recall date of receipt, date he furnished material should be
affixed.

No additional markings of any kind, such as initials, date received,
permanent symbol number of informant, file numbers, indexing symbols,
etc., should be placed on documentary material.

Receipt of such material should be recorded on form FD-306 or on 4
channelizing memorandum containing all applicable items. See section
107K for filing instructions.

Receipts should be of such a nature that they will be self~sufficient ‘)
so that, if it becomes necessary to introduce receipts in evidence,
they will not relate to other documents or files.
Receipts should clearly show: ‘

1 Date on which payment was made

2 Period for which made when informant is paid on period basis

3 Total amount paid broken down into separate amounts for services

or expenses where pertinent

4 Name of Agent making payment

5 Signature of person receiving money

Receipts are not to be witnessed by another Agent.

If necessary to make corrections on receipts, they must be initialed
by informant and not by Agent.
When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of expenses to .
Bureau, staple them directly to blue slip, leaving margin of one “
to ohe and one-half inches at top to avoid contact with Acco fastener
punch. Place staples so that date or other data appearing on ‘
receipt will not be mutilated and all information on receipt can be
easily read without detaching it from blue slip.

the Bureau that such compensation must be reported as income when
filing a Federal income tax form, and, where appropriate, state and
local tax forms. Informants must be periodically advised of the

has encountered with the taxing authorities are to be expeditiously
furnished the Bureau.

self-employed income from other sources without revealing connection
with Bureau.

without jeopardizing his security as informant, such payments will be

Make every effort to prevent discontinued informant from becoming involved

in situations which may prove embarrassing to informant or Government.

Immediately after he testifies for first time, SAC should have serious talk

with informant in presence of Agent who handled informant. This interview

should be conducted in field office and informant told that:

a. He will no longer be operated by Bureau

b. Since he is public figure, he will probably be contacted by representa~
tives of press, radio, and television for interviews and appearances

c. He may be sought as witness by congressional committees, Immigration
and Naturalization Service, and state authorities

a. In connection with such interviews and-appearances, informant must
continue to be factual and truthful and must not build up or embellish
statements, for if he does so he will wind up in serious trouble

Advise Bureau results of such interview and comment on its possible effec-
tiveness,

Be alert to possibilities of former informant being contacted by represen-
tatives of publicity media and as witness by congressional committees,

INS, and state authorities. SAC is responsible for knowing when former informant

is scheduled or is likely to appear at hearing or make public appearance

of any kind, Prior thereto in each instance, former informant must be
contacted and instructions above reiterated by Agent who handled informant.
Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to truth and make certain
he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he will be sub-
jected to criticism, possible libel, slander, or other criminal actions.

If he inquires as to whether he should appear or testify or otherwise
cooperate with any public or private individual or agency, advise him he
must make that decision himself, but if he has appeared as Government
witness in case which has not been finally adjudicated and decides in
affirmative, he should contact USA for instructions. Advise Bureau of any
such situations and results of any interviews conducted.

When contacting Agent feels discontinued informant could cause embarrass-—
ment to Bureau, make arrangements to have former informant come to field
office where he will be personally met by SAC. At that time, he should be
impressed with fact that his services were appreciated and were of consid-
erable assistance to security of country and remind him that he signed agree~
ment when he was active as informant to maintain his relation with Bureau
on confidential basis. SAC should stress necessity for informant to main~
tain this confidence,

INS, in order to enforce its responsibilities, must obtain evidence to
prove that certain aliens, due to their membership in certain groups, are
undesirable and deportable or subject to denaturalization,

Cooperate fully with INS in these cases and make efforts consistent with
your own interests to make available information and witnesses where
possible.

If contacted by INS inquiring for informants and you have discontinued
informant or one who would be of assistance to INS and whose loss would not
affect your work, furnish his identity to Bureau, together with your
recommendation.

Bureau will review facts and advise as to whether or not his identity may

"SECRET - NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"

[W. FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE (FCI) ASSETS
This subsection deals with the development and operation of human assets,
a field referred to as Human Intelligence or HUMINT. FCI assets are to
be handled exclusively under this subsection, except for the administra~
tive instructions pertaining to informant indices, and monthly statistical
letters, set out in Part I; such exceptions are noted herein.
1. Definitions
FCI assets fall into two categories: informative assets and operational
assets. :
ae Informative assets (IA)
Individuals in position to furnish continuing information relative
to the location, overt activities, and personalities of the targets
of FBI investigations, é«g., doorman, garage attendant, neighbor,
tradesman, rental agent, building superintendent, fellow employee,
social contact, business contact, banker, ethnic community
source, etce$ ér individuals who "have left or openly defected from
a foreign country and can furnish information of intelligence
value. An IA is not actively involved in an intelligence operation
as such; should he become so involved he then could become an OA.
be Operational assets (OA)
Individual actively involved in intelligence operations.

individuals:
Defector—in-place: A foreign official who overtly continues
to work for his government and covertly provides information
to us of intelligence value. A defector-in-place will in
most instances be connected with a foreign government's
intelligence service;

Double agent: An OA who is cooperating with a foreign intel-
ligence service on our behalf and under our control;

“Asset under development: Individuals selected for their
apparent attractiveness to foreign intelligence services whom
we attempt to put in contact with such services for operational
exploitation, sometimes known as a "dangle operation's or
individuals already in contact with a foreign intelligence
service who have an immediate potential for development into
double agents.
Adoption of the generic term OA does not preclude use of the
specific terms, @eg., double agent, where applicable, in official
communications. ‘
2. Objectives of OA
ae Penetration
Penetration of legal and illegal networks, identification of
intelligence personnel and targets; collection of information
regarding methods of operations; collection of positive intelligence.

3 This category includes but is not limited to the following

Control

~of information foreign intelligence services obtain;

~of recruitment, by creating Bureau—controlled OAs;

-of foreign operations, by keeping foreign intelligence services
occupied handling our OAs.

Collection of evidence for prosecution

Deception (Disinformation)

Passing inaccurate or accurate. information designed to cause foreign
intelligence services to draw conclusions or initiate action to
their disadvantage and/or to U. S. advantage.

Neutralization: to provid? basis for persona non grata (PNG) action,
exclusion, arrest or other disruptive action.

Collection by OA of personality characteristics data on foreign
officiais for purpose of defection analysis.

3. Individuals to be considered as OAs

Qe

Ge

Foreign officials in a position to furnish information of intel-~
ligence value. An intelligence officer (IO) is, of course, the
most valuable OA. An official who is not an IO, while of lesser
value, is still a highly desirable OA because of the positive
intelligence and information on the personalities and activities
of other officials that he can provide.

Agents of foreign intelligence services. When thése individuals
are identified, and the prospect and value of recruiting them
outweighs any prosecutive potential, they should be seriously
considered for development as OAs.

Contacts of foreign officials. When contacts of foreign officials
are identified as being of interest to a foreign intelligence
service, we should attempt to enlist their cooperation and direct
them against that intelligence service.

Individuals who are particularly attractive to a foreign intel-
ligence service. Our objective is to determine the specific
interests of foreign intelligence services or individual IOs, and
to then recruit asset(s) who would appear to that service or IO to
satisfy their needs. Such assets must have potential for operation
within a reasonably expected period of time.

Former assets who currently offer potential for exploitation.

4. Restrictions

FBIHQ authority is required prior to conducting detailed background

investigation of any of the following individuals as an FCI asset,
whether IA or OA. Of course, some investigation must initially be

conducted, without disclosing our interest, to sufficiently identify
the individual and generally assess his potential, so that FBIHQ can
conduct a meaningful indices search and make an intelligent evaluation

of the risks versus value involved.

After FBIHQ authority to conduct detailed background investigation

has been received, and investigation completed, FBIHQ authority is

also required to conduct initial interview of the above individuals,

whether IA or OA.

Development of U. S. Military or other U. S. Government Personnel

Whenever it becomes desirable to develop a member of the U. S. Military

or an employee of another Government agency as an FCI asset, FBIHQ

notifies the respective military service or agency of our interest.

To facilitate this notification the office desiring to develop such an

individual should submit to FBIHQ 5 copies of an LHM setting out:

ae Proposed asset's name, rank or position, and current place of
assignment.

be Area of FBI interest in the asset, in general, and the foreign
intelligence service, and official, if known, against which it is
anticipated asset will be directed.

Ce Extent of anticipated coverage to be provided by the asset, i-e.,
describe the services he wiil provide.

d. The last paragraph of this LHM should read:

"It is requested that no further dissemination of the foregoing
be made without prior reference to FBI Headquarters. If you
agree with our contemplated use of the above individual, please
return a copy of this memorandum with your acknowledgement."

e. Members of the military: estimated time period within which you
wish to utilize the asset; desirability that the asset remain in
his current area of assignment for a specified period of time.
Upon receipt of clearance from the military, FBIHQ will select
code name for future use in identifying the asset. This code
name will be furnished to military intelligence component at
headquarters level and to FBI field divisions. Every 6 months
thereafter, as long as the FBI has continuing operational interest
in the asset, an LHM captioned with code name should be transmitted
to FBIHQ, by routing slip captioned with informant's symbol number.
The LHM is to contain a statement that the asset continues to be
of operational use to the FBI, and a statement detailing any

difficulties encountered in control or direction of the asset or
a statement that no such difficulties exist.

NOTE: Generally, the U. S. Armed Forces may not be utilized to
enforce the civilian criminal law; however, they may be utilized
for foreign counterintelligence purposes. In foreign counterintel-—
ligence investigations in which there is a possibility of criminal
prosecution, use of military personnel as assets might jeopardize
successful prosecution, and ail such cases must be discussed in
detail with FBIHQ prior to utilization of such military assets.

6. Development of personnel of foreign diplomatic establishment or
international organization
Whenever it becomes desirable to develop an official or employee of a
foreign diplomatic establishment or government, or of a public inter-
national organization of a governmental or quasi-governmental nature,
; whois not a national of a hostile country, e.g., Canadian, Argentinian,
aa or U. S. United Nations Secretariat (UNSEC) employee to target against
_ Soviet-bioc UNSEC employee, FBIHQ asks for authorization from State
Department to conduct background investigation. FBIHQ must inform
State Department of the proposed asset's name, rank or position, nation-
ality, current place of assignment, and, generally, the type of use
we intend to make of the asset. After authorization has been received
and background investigation completed, if individual offers asset
potential, submit results of background investigation in LHM and in
cover communication request authority to interview. FBIHQ will then
request authorization from State Department to interview.
7. Development .
The development of assets depends on the individual circumstances of
each situation. No rigid procedural steps or contact schedules can
be imposed which will uniformly apply to 411 cases; however, the
development should proceed with the objective of obtaining valuable
re results as quickly as feasible, consistent with maintaining the asset's
security, credibility, and confidence, and with developing the asset's
potential to its fullest.
8. Opening of asset files
Open a 134 file for all individuals at the time they are first con-
sidered for development as assets. This file should consist of two parts: ~
a main file which will contain all identifying data, results of back- )
ground investigation, personal status data, and administrative data;
and a subfile which will contain at least one copy of all information
provided by asset. The asset is not to be identified, beyond his symbol
number, in subfile.

Maintain files of all active assets as pendinge Utilize FD~238 as
unserialized top document in main file.

and/or file number.

Maintenance of FCI asset files and indices

Maintain all FCI asset files, pending and closed, under lock and key
under personal supervision of SAC, ASAC, or employee designated by SAC.

Files of FCI assets will be included in calculation of delinquencies
in monthly administrative report.

FCI asset indices will be maintained according to the administrative

10. Symbol numbers
_ Assign a symbol number to all individuals when first considered for
development as asset. The symbol number is to consist of two-letter
prefix identifying the office, a numerical sequence number (which
will never be reassigned to another asset or informant), and suffix
which describes the type of asset, eeg., NY 1001-OA (or IA). The
numerical sequence is to be the same as that used for all other
informants, e.g-, potential security informant, security informant,
criminal informant, etc. The suffix may change if the nature of the
information provided changes, e.g., from IA to OA. Submit identity
of asset and symbol number assigned to FBIHQ via coded. "Nitel"; this
is the only communication ever in which both asset's true name and
symbol number are to appear together. Assets must not be informed
of their symbol numbers.
11. Captions
In administrative communications dealing solely with asset, indicate
in caption the character and the country concerning which the asset.
is reporting, e.g-, NY 1001~OA, IS-R (Russia).
12. Background inquiries and interviews
ae Informative asset
Based on the type of information the IA can provide, the nature
and extent of contact with him, and the IAts relationship with
the target:
(1) Conduct sufficient background investigation to satisfy the
SAC as to the IA's stability, suitability, reliability, and
potential. For example, a more detailed background investi-
gation is required for a social or business contact than for
a doorman or building superintendent. A minimal background
investigation should include appropriate police and field
offices! indices checks.
(2) Request search of FBIHQ indices.
. (3) Check NCIC.
(4) Submit FD-165 for search of FBIHQ identification records;
make no reference to individual as IA on FD-165. Also utilize
FD-165 to place stop.
(5) Outside of the restrictions set out in 4. above, interview
IA prospect on SAC authority.
be Operational asset
When an individual appears to have OA potential conduct the fol-
lowing background investigation commensurate with OA's security:
(1) Obtain pertinent data on OA's personal history (date and
place of birth, nationality and citizenship, social security
number or other identifying numbers, family status, names of
immediate family, past and present residences, employments, etce),
and other data such as physical description, patriotism, health,
reliability, stability, integrity, reputation, and business
connections.
(2) Check appropriate police and field offices' indices.
(3) Request search of PBIHQ indices.
(4) Check NCIC.

(6) If applicable, check armed services records, both at Military
Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, Missouri, and at Defense
Central Index of Investigations, Ft. Holabird, Maryland.
(7) Canvass logical sources, commensurate with OA's security.
(8) Upon completion of above investigation submit results to” FBIHQ
via coded teletype, preferably "Nitel," and interview UACB.
cs Ail leads to auxiliary offices must be sent and replied to, via
coded teletype, preferably "Nitel," under caption utilizing asset's
true name, followed by "IS~(country)." Do not set out asset's
symbol number. Do not send copies of such leads of IAs to FBIHQ.
Leads must be covered within 45 days; office of origin notify
auxiliary offices of this time limit when setting out leads.
13. Authority to operate assets
IAs are approved and operated on SAC authority. Inform FBIHQ via
coded "Nitel" when SAC approval given, and type of information IA
can provide. OAs are approved and operated on FBIHQ authority.
After interview of OA submit results of interview via coded "Nitel"
requesting FBIHQ approval to operate. Detail OAts potential and your
contemplated use of OA.

In exceptional cases, when the results of the interview and details

of the OAts potential and contemplated use are voluminous, the practi-

cality of "Nitel" and the relative security of the mails should be

balanced against the sensitivity of the information and the security

of the asset. Where the former factors prevail, submit summary by 5

14. Contact with assets
Contact should be maintained commensurate with maximum productivity,
security, and development of asset's further potential. If an asset
has not been contacted for a period of 45 days, a memorandum.to the
SAC must be directed to the asset's main file stating the reason(s)
why no contact was made.

Do not disclose to asset any information not essential to his operation.
15. Confidentiality of relationship

Emphasize to all assets that the effectiveness of the FBI's investi-

gation, and in some instances his own personal security, depend on

both sides maintaining the confidentiality of the relationship. If the

asset feels he must disclose this relationship to another, eeg., wife,

parent, employer, etc., or circumstances develop in which asset requests

FBI to disclose the relationship to another, e.g., to an employer

threatening dismissal of asset because of his affiliation with certain

individuals or groups, notify FBIHQ with recommendation to disclose

relationship and continue under these conditions or to terminate

relationship with or without disclosing relationship, and reasons

for recommendation.

(5) Submit FD-165 for search of FBIHQ identification records;
make no reference to individual as OA on FD~1653; and also

"SECRET - NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"

Reliability of assets

Reliability of all assets must be constantly checked. If any doubt
exists concerning asset, give consideration to use of various inves-
tigative techniques to insure asset is completely reliable and is
furnishing accurate information.

Assignment of pseudonyms

In sensitive cases, where necessary; if asset will sign reports or
receipts; or if asset is an OA receiving operational funds from a
foreign intelligence service or payment from the U. S. which requires
bookkeeping records, assign pseudonym for these purposes.

Recording of information received from asset

When recording information from any asset in a communication prepared
for dissemination, characterize the asset either as one "with whom
contact has been insufficient to determine reliability," or as one
“who has furnished reliable information in the past."

ae Oral information

(1) Information pertaining to asset's personal status is recorded
in 134 main file, e.g., marital difficulties, change of
employment, change of residence.

(2) Information pertaining to operational administrative matters
is recorded in asset's 134 subfile. When this data, e.ge,
location of meet sites, times of meets, any data which tends
to identify asset, is furnished to FBIHQ, it should not be
included in communications prepared for dissemination, but
in cover pages. When the asset is a member of the military,
submit, in addition to the communication for dissemination
described immediately above, a communication for dissemination
containing all operational administrative details for the
information of the asset's service.

(3) Information of intelligence value should be submitted to FBIHQ
via appropriate communication, and, if of interest to other
U. S. agencies or friendly foreign services, should be sub~
mitted to FBIHQ in form suitable for dissemination.

(4) Execute and maintain form FD-209 in asset's main file concern-
ing contacts with asset. If contacts produced information of
intelligence value, record only date of contacts; if negative,
record as such. .

b. Written information

(1) Written information prepared by asset, or by FBI SA for
signature of asset, pertaining to operational activities
(not a written report passed by asset to his principal)
must be dated at the top of page one and signed at the bottom
of each numbered page by the asset using his pseudonym. This
material may be maintained as an attachment to a serialized
memorandum in the asset's subfile (punched holes are allowed),
or in a la section of the asset's 134 subfile.

(2) Information received in this manner should be devoid of FBI
identification, block or time stamps, serialization number
or other administrative markings.

(3) Only the original need be maintained; asset must not keep
a copye . ;

"SECRET - NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION" XY

(4) Any corrections, changes, erasures, additions, or deletions
on original must be identified by asset using his pseudonym
initials beside it.

(5) Handling FBI SA must not make any changes on the original
or permit his name to be recorded therein.

(6) Written information pertaining to operational activities
should not include administrative matters pertaining to

. asset's personal status.

(7) Handle recording of written information and contact with
asset in same manner as detailed under recording of oral
information.

19. Channelization of information of intelligence value received from the’
asset
Important factor in channelizing information of intelligence value
received from the asset to substantive case files is the security of
the asset.

Limit information in communication sent to substantive file to only

that necessary for that case; iee., do not send one comprehensive

communication to several substantive files if to do so might compromise

source or other individual. (Be aware that some of our documents are

being made available in response to subpoenas, and the court is some-

times not allowing excision of material not pertinent to case in

question. Consequentiy, other individuals or operations can be "blown"

by revealing one such comprehensive memo.).

ae Extract information of value received from asset and channelize to
substantive case files either inter- or intra-office by separate
communications under substantive case captions.

be A copy of all channelizing communications must be maintained in an
asset's subfile.

20. Passage of documents, written report or oral information, to hostile

foreign intelligence

Type of information to be passed depends on circumstances of particular

operation, interests of involved foreign intelligence service, the

credible access of the OA and the time element involved.

Great care should be given to the selection of information to be passed

to insure the operation accrues to the overall benefit of the U. S.

a. Authority for passage
FBIHQ authority required for passage of all classified information
and unclassified information prepared for limited use by concerned
Federal and local governments, not intended for public consumption.

Administrative handling of documents, written reports, and oral

information selected for passage

(1) Documents and written reports
Field offices should retain a copy of document or written
report passed which would be identified by OA as a true copy
of item passed by him. No other marks, identifying data,
staple or punch holes should be placed on field office copy.

When submitting document or written report to FBIHQ, identify
it, in cover communication, as the actual item which will be
passed or a copy.

To insure that the actual document to be passed -is not con=
taminated by fingerprints of FBI personnel, maintain in plastic
envelope when being handled in field office or when submitted
to FBIHQ.

Documents obtained by FBIHQ or other field offices from com-
mercial concerns or other government agencies which will be .
passed will be handled in similar fashion.

If copy of document is maintained on permanent basis by
preparing concern or agency and available at a later date,
no need exists to submit copy to FBIHQ or to maintain in
field office file. If copy not maintained on permanent basis,
a copy should be retained in field office file.
(2) Oral information
Oral information passed must be recorded in a signed statement
or FD-302.
Purpose for preserving documents and written reports is for evidence
in event of prosecution, persona non grata action, expulsion, etc.

Oral information received upon debriefing an asset (ise., not necessarily
pertaining to information passed) must be recorded in a signed statement

or

FD-~302.

Disinformation

The passage of deceptive information by an OA is a complex operation
which requires detailed planning and coordination between field office
and FBIHQ. This technique should be employed only in OA operations
in which the foreign intelligence service has apparently accepted the
bona fides of the OA, when the benefit will clearly outweigh the risk
to the overall OA operation. .

OA cover story

Be aware that a foreign intelligence principal may interrogate an OA
in great detail as to how he secured his information, his family
situation, his modus operandi, motivation, etce Handling FBI SA must
adequately prepare an OA for this probability. The most credible
cover story is the one which involves the least fabrication.

Uniess security or other considerations dictate otherwise, the OA
should personally obtain the information he passese

Receipt of money or property by OA

Impress upon each OA that money or property received from a foreign
intelligence principal or agent must be turned over to the FBI since
retention of this money would put the OA in technical violation of
Federal statutes, and this money may be used as evidence or exhibit.
Compensation to the OA from the FBI for his cooperation is to be
handled separately. Nominal or personal gifts, necessary for the OA's
security and to maintain his relationship with the principal, may be
given back to the OA by his handling FBI SA, following FBIHQ approval.
Consider the desirability and feasibility of obtaining a signed state-
ment from each OA reflecting his understanding of this requirement.
The obtaining of such a statement is not mandatory, but desirable.

Department attorneys have advised that, while it is not necessary to
preserve that actual currency received by an OA, it is highly desirable

to do so in cases in which prosecution could ensue. Whether or not the

actual currency is retained, obtain_a written statement from the OA
describing the currency received by[type of note and issuing Federal
Reserve Bank, |ldenomination, series number, and serial number; and
also make an independent record of such currency.

The above instructions are not to be interpreted to require the im-

pounding of funds paid to an OA by a foreign government or foreign

intelligence service for goods or services rendered by the OA in

legitimate, business transactionse

Payments to FCI assets ~ either OA or IA

ao When deemed necessary and expedient, each SAC is authorized to
expend up to $400 to develop FCI assets. This money may be used
to pay for services and/or expenses. This authority is renewable
by FBIHQ if the initial $400 has been expended. Blue slip re-
claiming payments from FBIHQ need not summarize information
obtained since proliferation of this information could possibly
jeopardize asset's security.

28. Income tax returns
ae Inform assets who receive compensation for their services to FBI
that such compensation must be reported as income when filing an
income tax return.
be. FBI income should be set forth on Federal income tax return,
form 1040, as income received from other sources for personal
services rendered through a private enterprise or similar general
term applicable to asset's position and station in life.
ce If asset is self-employed and files Schedule C as self-employed
individual, it may be possible to include his FBI income with his
self-employed income from other sources without revealing connection
with FBI.
d. If asset cannot report payments received from FBI for services
without jeopardizing his security, such payments will be subject
to 20 percent withholding tax. There are three categories in which
taxes will not be withheld from payments to FCI assets:
(1) For reimbursement of expenses
(2) Under SAC authority
(3) To assets who have been able to report FBI income on their
) Federal tax returns without jeopardizing their security or

without challenge from Internal Revenue Service. Each office
has detailed instructions and exhibits concerning procedure
to be followed in handling and control of money withheld.
e. When asset or former asset is considered as potential witness in

When it is determined that current asset or former asset has fur~
nished false information, promptly inform FBIHQ of complete facts.
Set forth your suggestion relative to wording to be used in
describing asset in future, such as "source of known unreliability"
or "source who has furnished both reliable and unreliable information
in the past."

FBIHQ will advise which designation to use; the field office will
then proceed with review of all data furnished by asset and label
information from him accordingly.

All communications containing information from asset which have
been sent to FBIHQ, FBI field offices, and to outside agencies

must be corrected. Corrective action should be taken by letter.
Identify cases individually by title and character, together with
dates of communications containing information from assete Correc~
tive letters should refer to specific report, page number, and
change to be made. Amended pages should not be prepared unless you
are so instructed by FBIHQ in accordance with instructions of

part II, section 4, Manual of Rules and Regulations.

Instruct each field office which has made further dissemination of
asset's information. to follow instructions set forth above.

Set up control file regarding this corrective action and upon
completion of same submit to FBIHQ final letter under asset's
caption identifying each case by title, character, FBIHQ file number
if known, and date of communication. This letter will be used to
check all pertinent FBIHQ files to see that necessary corrective
action has been taken.

If necessary, other field offices which have received information
from asset should also be requested to submit summary letters
showing what corrections have been made.

Occasionally, former asset through his speech, writings, or actions
raises a doubt as to his reliability subsequent to time he was
asset. It is not necessary to go back and change evaluation of
information attributed to that former asset in absence of definite
indication that he furnished unreliable information while he was
asset.

Dissemination of information from assets of questionable reliability
and known unreliability should be made in accordance with part II,
section 5, Manual of Rules and Regulations.

Alphabetical name index

In all offices maintain card index showing true identities of all
security informants, potential security informants, and security
confidential sources. This is to be known as alphabetical name index.
File cards in alphabetical order.

Symbol number index

This index shall contain card for each individual to whom symbol
number has been assigned. File cards numerically and any symbols
which consist of fictitious names shall be filed alphabetically
behind numerical symbol index.

Where good reason exists for an Agent to obtain information from
either of these indices, it should be furnished by official having
custody of cards. These indices should be used as a guide only;
informant'ts file must be reviewed to determine specific nature of
activities and type of information he furnishes.

Index cards

Index cards (FD-348) shall be executed for alphabetical name index
and symbol number index. Execute only following items:

Symbol: File* No:
(Informant, potential

informant, or confidential

source )

Name :

Contacts with informants should not be posted on index cards since
this information is shown in informant's administrative file.

A separate index may be maintained for use of Agents on informants
and sources in other divisions who may be available for assistance.
If such index maintained, separate index card is to be prepared on
each informant and source included.

Cards should contain brief background data and identity of Bureau
communication showing background data.

File cards alphabetically by name and/or symbol number. Duplicate
cards may be prepared to be filed geographically and/or by subject
matter.

An Agents! informative index may be maintained by same official as
set out in item 1, above, for use of Agents on type of informant
coverage in division.

File cards by geographical location, arranged alphabetically by
states, cities, subdivisions within cities, etc.

Behind each geographical location, place guide card indicating type
of information which can be furnished, such as Communist Party,
Polish Activity, etc.

On guide card set forth symbol numbers of informants and confidential
sources who can provide coverage.

(Deleted. ]J

When individual can provide more than one type of information, set
forth his symbol or identity on as many guide cards as applicable.
Guide cards should show above data and it is permissible to place
alongside name or symbol number names of contacting Agents.

Also, symbol numbers of informants who move outside division and
who still may be excellent sources regarding past activities may
be set forth on guide cards. :

Names or symbol numbers of individuals contained in index entitled
"tnformants and Sources in Other Divisions" who can be of assistance
to your office may be set forth on appropriate guide cards in this
index,

SECTION "ou INFORMANTS AND a i SOURCES.

Contacts by Agents

ae

Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where frequency
of contact is dependent on circumstances, informants should be con-
tacted as often as necessary, but at least one personal contact
Should be made every two weeks. If such frequent contacts cannot be
astablished, obtain specific Bureau authority for exception to this
requirement.

During each contact, carefully review informant's activities since
previous contact and make certain informant has furnished all in-
formation which he has obtained since last contact,

Contacting Agent should not only collect information but direct
informant, be aware of his activities, and maintain such close
relationship that he knows informant's attitude towards Bureau.
Good judgment must prevail in handling informant to see he does

not become too familiar with Agent. Promptly advise Bureau of any
indication informant is wavering in Bureau relationship.
Arrangements for paying informant or personally contacting him must
be specific and no doubt should be left in minds of either Agent

or informant as to methods of payment, amount, place, and time.
Informants should use only public telephones in communicating with
contacting Agent and consideration should be given to furnishing
informants nonpublished office telephone number for emergency com-
munication. This rule is not practical in all espionage and
foreign nationality matters but should be followed where applicable.
Positive information received from informant should be subject of
written statement by informant or memorandum prepared by contacting
Agent to be placed in informant's subfile and appropriately
channelized.

Record dates of all contacts, whether negative or positive, in
informant's administrative file. Memorandum or form FD-209 may be
used. If informant contacted frequently, one memorandum or form
may be used for several contacts.

Dates of negative contacts and file numbers of cases involved must
appear in informant's administrative file. Where file has more than
one subject, name of subject under inquiry should be noted. Do not
set forth title of case involved.

If positive information received from informant, show only dates of

contacts in informant's administrative file. Place positive informa-

tion in informant's subfile and appropriately channelize same.
Alternate Agent should be designated for contacts with informant
and should be thoroughly acquainted with informant so that contacts
may be handled by alternate Agent where necessary.

Checking reliability

a. Reliability of all active informants must be constantly checked.

b. Give consideration to use of any investigative technique deemed
necessary to be certain they are completely reliable and are fur-

, nishing accurate, truthful information.

Pingerprints

a. After informant has been developed and unless some reason to
contrary exists, obtain and forward his fingerprints to Identifi-
cation Division if they are not on file there.

b. If informant refuses, do not force issue.

c. Forward informant's fingerprints as enclosure to FD-165 using

NW 68321 Docld:32989529 Page 1217

applicant-type fingerprint card, form FD-258, fully executed.
Appropriate field office should be shown as contributor, field
case file number in number space, and "inquiry" in space for
"company and address" on face of card.

a.

Flash notice is to be placed by field with Identification Division
by submission of form FD-165, using informant's true name for each
informant who has fingerprints on file.

When informant is discontinued, retain flash notice for one year.

Insure that notice is canceled at that time by submission of form

FD-165 or advise Bureau as to why notice should be continued. If

Pingerprints obtained solely for this purpose, remove fingerprints
from criminal file.

Control - statement of cooperation

Ae

be

Close control must be exercised over activities of informants and
double agents to obtain maximum results and prevent any possible
embarrassment to Bureau. :
Obtain signed statement set out below when feasible and practical.
Where it is not practical to secure such signed statement from an
informant or double agent, advise Bureau of complete details. SAC
and Agent handling informant or double agent should determine appro-
priate time in informant's operation when statement should be com-
- pleted,

qr; » have voluntarily agreed to cooperate with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in a matter afieoting the
security of the United States. I consider it 4 patriotic
duty to so cooperate and agree to maintain this relation~
ship in strict confidence. I understand that I am not a
Federal employee and will not represent myself as such, I
further agrees not to make any disclosure or exploit in any
way information which I may obtain or any activity in which

I may engage on behalf of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
both while I am actively associated with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and thereafter, unless authorized to do so by
the Bureau.

(Signed } J

7 Witnessed:

Execution of party questionnaires

Informants, particularly in Communist Party, often must execute party

_ questionnaires and in doing so should be instructed to be extremely
careful not to jeoparidze their position as informants. If necessary,
each item in questionnaire should be discussed with informant.

Informant's activity in organizations

ae

Ds

Informants in organizations must be impressed with necessity of
‘carrying on normal activity, such as canvassing, sale, and dis-
tribution of literature, leaflets, etc.
When feasible, informants should be instructed to accept direction
from leaders; request instruction and interpretation of organiza~
tion's precepts; request leaders to furnish sources for study
purposes; and enter discussions, not quietly sit back as obsarvers,
Changes in organization's conduct, policy, or strategy should be
reported on as they occur. Have informants give their opinions of
motivation behind such changes, but be certain opinions are labeled
- @s such.
Informants must be encouraged to increase contacts within their orbit
in order to gain higher positions, but in such manner as to avoid
suspicion.

Bureau promptly of all such situations which cannot be avoided.

Bureau will consider as last resort advising another agency of informant's
relationship with Bureau, together with pertinent facts concerning infor-
mant's activity; however, such situations must be kept to minimum in view
of obvious dangers to informant.

Hach such situation must be carefully considered and Bureau advised as
promptly as pessible, together with appropriate recommendation for pro-.
posed action.

In no instance should you permit informant to sign loyalty oath in negative.

(4) Separate statements should be prepared for each meeting or
separate activity in which informants engage and should be
dictated by Agent as if informant were preparing them himself.

(5) Information, after being reduced to writing, should be read
promptly by informant and acknowledged by affixing his code
nama on each page. In espionage and foreign nationality
matters, such authentication is necessary only where future
prosecution is possible.

(6) After informant authenticates statement, contacting Agent
should prepare cover sheet, form FD-306, which should be stapled
to it. Thereafter statement should be handled as written one.

(7) Orel information furnished by informant purely of lead value
should be included in office memorandum by Agent and should
not be initialed by informant or exhibited to him or treated
as evidence,

3. Transmission of information

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting Agent by
informants when possible. Careful consideration should be given to
full security of all such contacts. They should never be mailed to
field office or resident agency. If they cannot be obtained ver-
sonally by contacting Agent, dbhtain confidential post office boxes
for their receipt. :
Confidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious
names and not under names of persons who may be listed in post
office directory. More than one informant may send statements to

a post office box, but consideration should be given to obtaining
post office boxes in different post office stations to prevent
suspicion on part of postal employees,

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address of another
confidential post office box obtained under fictitious name.
Statements should be collected at post office boxes regularly, but
time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation where--
by same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office tox for
extended period of time.

When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest,
he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting Agent or
office by most appropriate means of communication.

4. Handling of lead information
Qe.

All lead information obtained from informant must be run out to
logical conclusion,

If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case, tickler
card should be prepared to follow informant and take other logical
steps to obtain additional identifying data. Restrict tickler cards
to information which would warrant investigation if identity
established. If no identification is made after reasonable effort,
prepare memorandum for informant's subfile.
dling documentary material furnished by informants

Pamphlets and similar documentary material furnished by informants
should have placed thereon informant's code name.

Informant shovld affix date he received material. If informent can-
not recall date of receipt, date he furnished material should be
affixed. .

No additional markings of any kind, such as initials, date received,
permanent symbol number of informant, file numbers, indexing symbols,
ete., should be placed on documentary material.

Receipt of such material should be recorded on form FD-306 or on a
channelizing memorandum containing all applicable items. See section

informants in organizations must be impressed with necessity of
carrying on normal activity, such as canvassing, sale, and dis-
tribution of literature, leaflets, etc, .
When feasible, informants should be instructed to accept direction
from leaders; request instruction and interpretation of organiza~
tion's precepts; request leaders to furnish sources for study
purposes; and enter discussions, not quietly sit back as observers.
Changes in organization's conduct, policy, or strategy should be
reported on as they occur. Have informants give their opinions of
motivation behind such changes, but be certain opinions are labeled
as such.
Informants must be encouraged to increase contacts within their orbit

in order to gain higher positions, but in such manner as to avoid
suspicion.

SECTION 107 SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFI] _TIAL SOURCES,

(4) Separate statements should be prepared for each meeting or
separate activity in which informants engage and should ba
dictated by Agent as if informant were preparing them himself,

(5) Information, after being reduced to writing, should be read
promptly by informant and acknowledged by affixing his code
name on each page. In espionage and foreign nationality
matters, such authentication is necessary only where future
prosecution is possible,

{6) After informant authenticates statement, contacting Agent
should prepare cover sheet, form FD-306, which should be stapled
to it. Thereafter statement should be handled as written one.

{7) Oral information furnished by informant purely of lead value
should be included in office memorandum by Agent and should ©
not be initialed by informant or exhibited to him or treated
as evidence,

3. Transmission of information

a.

Ge

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting “Agent by
informants when possible, Careful consideration should be given to
full security of all such contacts. They should never be mailed to
field office or resident agency. If they cannot be obtained per-
sonally by contacting Agent, obtain confidential post office boxes
for their receipt.

Confidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious
names and not under names of persons who may be listed in post
office directory. More than one informant may send statements to

a post office box, but consideration should be given to obtaining
post office boxes in different post office stations to prevent
suspicion on part of postal employees.

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address of another
confidential post office box obtained under fictitious name,
Statements should be collected at post office boxes regularly, but
time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation where-
by same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office box for
extended period of time.

When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest,
he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting Agent or
office by most appropriate means of communication.

4. Handling of lead information

ae

be

ALL lead information obtained from informant must be run out to
logical conclusion. .
If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case, tickler
card should be prepared to follow informant and take other Logical
steps to obtain additional identifying data. Restrict tickler cards
to information which would warrant investigation if identity
astablished. If no identification is made after reasonable effort,
prepare memorandum for informant'ts subfile.

SECTION 107, or INFORMANTS AND CONFID: i SOURCES,

Make every effort to prevent discontinued informant from becoming involved
in situations which may prove embarrassing to informant or Government.
Immediately after he testifies for first time, SAC shonld heve serious talk
with informant in presence of Agent who handled informant. This interview
should be conducted in field office and informant told that:

Be
Db.

Ce

d.

He will no longer be operated by Bureau .
Since he is public figure, he will probably be contacted by representa-
tives of press, radio, and television for interviews and appearances

He may be sought as witness by congressional committees, Immigration
and Naturalization Service, and state authorities

In connection with such interviews and appearances, informant must
continue to be factual and truthful and must not build up or embellish
statements, for if he does so he will wind up in serious trouble

davise Bureau results of such interview and comnent on its possible effec-
tiveness.

Be alert to possibilities of former informant being contacted by represen--'
tatives of publicity media and as witness by congressional committees,

INS, and state authorities. SAC is responsible for knowing when formar infor

is scheduled or is likely to appear at hearing or make public appsaranceof
of any kind. Prior thereto in each instance, former informant must be
contacted and instructions above reiterated by Agent who handled informants.
Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to truth and make certain
he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he will be sub-
jected to criticism, possible libel, slander, or other crimin21 actions.
If he inguires as to whether he should appear or testify or otherwise
cooperate with eny public or private individual or agency, advise him he
must make that decision himself, but if he has appeared as Government
witness in case which has not been finally adjudicated and decides in .
affirmative, he should contact USA for instructions. Advise Bureau of any
such situations and results of any interviews conducted.

When contacting Agent feels discontinued informant covld cause embarrass-~
ment to Bureau, make arrangements to have former informant come to field

off

ice where he will be personally met by SAC. At that time, he shouré be

impressed with fact that his services were appreciated and were of consid-
erable assistance to security of country and reminé him that he signed agreer
ment when he was active as informant to maintain his relation with Bureau
on confidential basis. SAC should stress necessity for informant to main-
tain this confidence. : . .

TNS

FURNISHING TNFORMANTS TO IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INS)
> in order to enforce its responsibilities, must obtain evidence to

prove that certain aliens, due to their membership in certain groups, are
undesirable and deportable or subject to denaturalization.

Cooperate fully with INS in these cases and make efforts consistent with
your own interests to make availeble information and witnesses where
possible.

Iz contacted by INS inquiring for informants and you have discontinued
informant or one who would be of assistance to INS and whose loss would not
affect your work, furnish his identity to Bureau, together with your
recommendation. :
Bureau will review facts and advise as to whether or not his identity may
ba disclosed to INS.

Before any informant is turned over to INS, obtain his permission.

SECTION 107. SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFID. ran SOURCES LO7A~-C

DEFINITIONS

1. Security informant
Individual actively engaged in obtaining and furnishing current inf orma-
tion on security or intelligence matters exclusively for Bureau whose
identity must be protected. Such person should be member or attend
meetings of subversive organization, or be in such position relative to
subversive organization that he is able to provide current information
of value. .

2.. Potential security informant
Individual in position to become active in or closely connected with
subversive organization or intelligence activities and is making
affirmative effort to obtain and furnish current information to Bureau.

3. Double agent
Person cooperating with, receiving “assignments from, and performing tasks
for both foreign intelligence service and Burean under FBI guidance

4. Gonfidential source .
Individual who on confidential basis furnishes information available
through his present position. Examples would be: bankers and telephone
company employees. These individuals make no concerted effort in behalf
of Bureau but furnish information readily available to them.

5. Panel source Looe .
Individual who is not involved in subversive group ‘but who will attend
its public gatherings in behalf of FBI for intelligence purposes or as
potential witness :

SOURCES OF POTENTIAL TNFORMANTS

Informants should be developed on all organizations and individuals that are
inimical to internal security. Informants may be obtained through alertness
in course of normal investigative activity. Live informant coverage depends

for most part upon initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs.

For assistance in obtaining potential informants, following is suggested:
1. Evaluation of
a. Complainants or other persons interviewed in security matters
b. Subjects of security investigations who show disaffection, loss of
interest, inactivity, financial hardship, or other repudiation of
party Loyalty :
c. Personal friends and contacts of Bureau employees
a. Sources cf information, confidential sources, and contacts
2. Review of closed security files, reserve index, and files of former
security informants
3. Review factionalism section of file on Communist Party, USA.
. Consultation with present informants regarding indications of disaffec-

tion on part of subversive group members. They should not be informed .as

to purpose of inquiry.

5. Review of Files on communist front organizations looking for individuals
who have been associated with only one or two fronts or who attended only
a few meetings

BACKGROUND INQUIRIES ON INDIVIDUALS BEING CONSIDERED FOR INFORMANT PURPOSES

When decision is made to consider an individual for informant purposes, conduct

background investigation. Extensive background investigation should not be
conducted until individual has been interviewed and it has been determined he

is willing to assist Bureau. Obtain prior Bureau authority to interview when-

ever restrictions imposed in section 87, volume III, and section 105, volume IV,

of this manual, relative to interviews apply. Background investigation should

include:
1. Check of field office files
2. Discreet canvass of logical informants

SECTION 107 ow"™ INFORMANTS AND CONFI g@iTTAL SOURCES,

Inquiries of discraet nature concerning individual's personal history
(date and place of birth, ete.), patriotism, health, reliability,
stability, integrity, general reputation, present and past employments,
and business connections. Investigation must definitely establish that

. individual can be used without danger of future embarrassment due

to instability or unreliability. Securing background information from
individual is not sufficient; his background must be established by
investigation, including discreet inquiries among persons personally -
acquainted with him. :
Check of local credit and arrest records. Submit FD-165 to Identifica-
tion Division to obtain any record he may have and to place Stop

against fingerprints if on file.

Review armed services record if applicable. . -
Check draft status or status in armed forces reserve,

Check domestic status and, if any marital difficulties, obtain details.
Persons being considered for use in espionage and foreign nationality
cases may present special problems which limit scope of investigation.
(See instructions re contact cases and deseco program, section 105,
volume IV, of this manual. } However, where practical, cover above items.

Leads must be handled by auxiliary offices within 30 days. “Investigation
must be completed prior to any request to guide, direct, or designate in-
dividual as potential security informant.

APPROVAL, INDOCTRINATION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL INFORMANTS

When background information obtained, trahsmit results to Bureau in same
numerical sequence set out in subsection C, and request authority to des-
ignate individual es Bureau-approved potential security informant and to
proceed with development. Do not submit on UACB basis. Include physical
description,

After designation as Bureau-approved potential security informant, fol-

lowing matters should be made clear to him:

a. His assistance is strictly voluntary and he is to understand there is
no coercion: or intimidation involved.

b. He is not and cannot consider himself employee or “undercover Agent"
of FBI. Seriousness of violating impersonation statutes must be
impressed upon him.

c. His cooperation must be strictly confidential at all times and if
he should feel he cannot maintain this confidence, he should so
advise. There should be no doubt left in mind of potential informant
that his relationship must remain on confidential basis and if he
violates confidence he will be of no value and by so doing. Bureau's
investigative activity may be jeopardized. If he has special
problem which would require revealing his assistance to his wife or
other pertinent individual, this should be ascertained and appropriate

; recommendation made to Bureau.

ad. If potential informant is connected in any manner with labor union,
inform him that Bureau is not interested in employer-employse relation-
ships as such and is only concerned with obtaining information on
infiltration of unions by subversive elements.

e. If potential informant is student, teacher; or has any similar
relations with school, college, or university, in initial interview
and subsequent handling, follow curreat instructions concerning in-
vestigations on campuses.

Do not interview female potential informants in their homes or apartments

unless necessary and any such interviews should be conducted by two

Agents after specific approval of superior in field office responsible

for development of informants, This instruction is not applicable where

active investigation has established that pdtential informant is of good
character, there is no indication of affiliation with subversive groups,
and there will be no embarrassment to Bureau.

Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where contact is

maintained on @ periodic basis dependent on circumstances, contact

potential informants personally at least once every two weeks.

SECTION 107. “SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFID™ “TIAL SOURCES . 107D~-F

Advise Bureau of progress being made at least every six months. Sub-
mit letters (FD-401) concerning potential informants who are not being
paid on Bureau authorization on UACB basis; include summary of infor-
mation furnished during past six months and certifications regarding
stability and indoctrination against disclosure. Follow form indicated
under section 107L, item 3b, below, except those items concerning pay-
ments.

Post record of all contacts with potential informants.

During contacts with potential informants, if it develops individual
does not have necessary capabilities, discontinue efforts.

Informants may raise a question concerning their position if it becomes
known publicly they are affiliated with subversive organization. In
such case, he may be told that his cooperation is matter of record in
FBI and if some question arises concerning his loyalty we will ‘consider
making facts of his cooperation known to his employer or to responsible
individuals. Before taking steps to advise anyone of potential infor~_
mantts or informant's cooperation, obtain Bureau authority.

From first interview with potential informant through development ‘and
until discontinued, use extreme caution at all times to be certain he is
not a plant.

When potential informant begins to furnish current information and
otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, assign permanent
symbol number and advise Bureau. This communication must be personally
initialed by SAC or ASAG acting in his absence. Individual's

background must be thoroughly reviewed at this time, keeping

in mind possibility of using informant as. witness, If individual

has any weaknesses, set forth safeguards being followed to

insure security and prevent embarrassment to Bureau.

E. BUREAU POLICY . ot

Development of military personnel

Do not develop informants among military personnel on military reserva-
tions, establishments, otc., anless specifically approved by Bureau.
Contacts by designated Agents

Contacts with informant or potential informant should only be made by
Agent or Agents specifically designated to contact him.

Divulging information to informant ~

No information should be divulged to potential informant or informant
concerning any of Bureau's investigative activity other than that which

is essential to his proper operation.

Recording investigative activity .

All investigative activity must be made matter of record in field office
files with all sources of information being completely identified. Agents
must not have and use informants known only to individual Agents personally.

TNDOCTRINATION, DIRECTION, AND CONTROL OF TNFORMANTS

Caution asgtinst divulging relationship

During initial development and consistently thereafter, impress upon
informant absolute necessity that he refrain from divulging his rela-
tionship with Bureau. These instructions must be properly phrased to
prevent possibility of Bureau's being accused of attempting to impose
esnsorship.

Developing additional background

During development of informant, additional data concerning his back-
Sround should be continuously obtained from informant. Be alert for
data revealing he is mentally or emotionally unstable, or has some
personal problem which would make hima risk.-

Indications of instability

Immediately furnish details of any indications of instability to Bureau,
with recommendations as to informant's continuance and comments as to
any steps being taken to prevent embarrassmont to Bureau.

4. ‘Contacts by Agents

Be

Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where frequency
of contact is dependent on circumstances, informants should be con-~
tacted as often as necessary, but at least one personal contact
should be made every two weeks. If such frequent contacts cannot be
established, obtain specific Bureau authority for exception to this
requirement.

During each contact, carefully review informant's activities since
previous contact and make certain informant has furnished all ine
formation which he has obtained since last contact. -
Contacting Agent should not only collect information but direct.
informant, be aware of his activities, and maintain such close
relationship that he knows informant's attitude towards Bureau.
Good judgment must prevail in handling-informant to see he does

not become too familiar with Agent. Promptly advise Bureau of any
indication informant is wavering in Bureau relationship.
Arrangements for paying informant or personally contacting him thust
be specific and no doubt-should be left in minds of either Agent

or informant as to methods of payment, amount, place, and time. -
Informants should use only public telephones in communicating with.
contacting Agent and consideration should be given to furnishing
informants nonpublished office telephone number for emergency com~
munication. This rule is not practical in all espionage and
foreign nationality matters but should be followed where applicable.
Positive information received from informant should be subject of
written statement by informant or memorandum prepared by contacting
Agent to be placed in informant's subfile and appropriately
channelized.

Record dates of all contacts, whether negative or positive, in
informant's administrative file. Memorandum or form FD-209 may be |

.used. If informant contacted frequently, one memorandum or form

may be used for several contacts.

Dates of negative contacts and file numbers of cases involved must
appear in informant's administrative Pile. Where file has more than
one subject, name of subject under inquiry should be noted. Do not
set forth title of case involved. _

If positive information received from informant, show only dates of
contacts in informant's administrative file. Place positive informa-
tion in informant's subfile and appropriately channelize same.
Alternate Agent should be designated for contacts with informant:

and should be thoroughly acquainted with informant so that contacts
may be handled by alternate Agent where necessary.

5. Checking reliability

a.
b.

Reliability of all active informants must be constantiy checked. :
Give consideration to use of any investigative technique deemed
necessary to be certain they ara completely reliable and are fur-
nishing accurate, truthful information.

After informant has been developed and unless some reason to
contrary exists, obtain and forward his fingerprints to Identifi-
cation Division if they are not on file there, .

If informant refuses, do not force issue. : ‘
Forward informant's fingerprints as enclosure to FD- 165 using
applicant-type fingerprint card, form FD-258, fully executed.

‘Appropriate field office should be shown as contributor, field

case file number in number space, and "inquiry" in space for

Flash notice is to be placed by field with Identification Division
by submission of form FD-165, using informant's true name for each
informant who has fingerprints on file.

When informant is discontinued, retain flash notice for one year.

Insure that notice is canceled at that time by submission of form

FD-165 or advise Bureau as to why notice should ba continued. If

fingerprints obtained solely for this purpose, remove fingerprints
from criminal file.

Control - statement of cooperation

Close control must be exercised over activities of informants ‘and-
double agents to obtain maximum results and prevent any possible
embarrassment to Bureau,

Obtain signed statement set out below when feasible and practical,
Where it is not practical to secure such signed statement from an
informant or double agent, advise Bureau of complete details. SAC
and Agent handling informant or double agent should determine appro-
priate time in informant's operation when statement should be. com-
pleted, .

I; » have voluntarily agreed to cooperate with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in a matter affecting the
security of the United States. I consider it a patriotic
duty to so cooperate and agree to maintain this relation~
ship in strict confidence. I understand that I am not a
Federal employee and will not represent myself as such. TI
further agree not to make any disclosure or exploit in any

. way information which I may obtain or any activity in which
I may engage on behalf of the Foderal Bureau of Investigation,
both while I am actively associated with the Federal Bureau of |
Investigation and thereafter, unless authorized to do so by
the Bureau.

Witnessed:

Execution of party questionnaires

Informants, particularly in Communist Party, often must execute party
questionnaires and in doing so should be instructed to ba extremely

_ careful not to jeoparidze their position as informants. If necessary,

each item in questionnaire should be discussed with informant.

Inf ormant's activity in organizations

Be

be

NW 88321 Docid:32989529 Page 1254

Informants in organizations must be impressed with necessity of
carrying on normal activity, such as canvassing, sale, and dis-
tribution of literature, leaflets, etc.

When feasible, informants should be instructed to accept direction
from leaders; request instruction and interpretation of organiza-
tion's precepts; request leaders to furnish sources for study
purposes; and enter discussions, not quietly sit back as observers.
Changes in organization's conduct, policy, or strategy should be
reported on as they-occur. Have informants give their opinions of
motivation behind such changes, but be cortain opinions are labeled
as such.

Informants must be encouraged ‘to increase contacts within their orbit
in order to gain higher ‘positions, but. in such manner as to avoid
suspicion. .

SECTION 107. ow” INFORMANTS AND CONFID. @ SOURCHS.

Transfer of informants to other areas ;
Keep alert to possibility of transferring informants to areas needing

coverage through change in residence or employment.

Keep in mind overall coverage of organizations. If informant becomes
prominent and may be able to expand his field of activity beyond your,
field division, encourage him to do so in | order to provide wider cov-
erage for Bureau's work. .

Action by informent when uncovered

If informant is uncovered by subversive elements, instruct him to de-
fend himself vigorously and demand proof of his informant activity.
Suspicion in many cases is directed to an informant without facts to |
back it up and by bluffing informant may confuse issue to point where
his services may not be lost.

In some cases it may be necessary for inf ormant to acquiesce to
charges of deviation from strict discipline of organization involvea,
and thus cast off suspicion.

Requests of informant to help defend others

If requested by Communist Party, or other interested parties to assist
in preparation of defense in subversive~type cases or handlé assign-
ment where such information is readily available, informant should
tactfully decline,

Such requests should be reported immediately to contacting Agent and
made matter of record.

If informant cannot avoid becoming involved, instruct him not to report

any information pertaining to defense plans or strategy.
Promptly report any such incident to Bureau.

Preparation for testifying

Contacting Agent must condition informant to fact that someday knowledge
he possesses may be needed as evidence in court. Psychologically prepare
informant for fact that he may at future date be called upon to tastify to
information he has furnished on security matters; Proper indoctrination
of informant is essential as Bureau must provide witnesses whenever
Department initiates prosecutions in security cases,

G. INFORMANTS' INFORMATION
1. General instructions re oral and written information

These iustructions apply to security informants, potential security
informants, panel sources, security confidential sources, and
security sources of information.

Specific instructions must be given to informants concerning prepara-
tion of statements containing their information.

They should be submitted as quickly as possible after meeting or.
activity.

Written statements should be submitted when possible. .In espionage
and foreign nationality matters written statements are usually
necessary only in those instances involving possible future prosecu~
tion, (In the majority of cases diplomats or officials who are not
subject to prosecution are involved. }

Carefully scrutinize each, bearing in mind that if informant is called
upon to testify ata later date his statements will very likely be
introduced in court.

All information furnished by. informants must be promptly reviewed,
recorded, indexed, evaluated, channelized, and all necessary action
taken. Form FD-306 may be used in lieu of channelizing memorandum if
desired, If so, prepare copies of FD-306 as needed for channelizing
and staple one copy to each copy of informant's statement being
channelized. CGhannelization should be noted on original FD-306 and
on &@1l1 copies. When informant's statement contains references to
large number of individuals and/or organizations, and exceeds two
pages, consider channelizing to substantive case file otily those por-.
tions of statement which apply to particular individual or organiza-

tion. Of course, entire statement should be filed in informant's sub~—

file. This procedure should be employed unless logical reason
dictates otherwise,

g. Prior to any prosecution or administrative hearing, advise trial
attorney that informant not only furnished information concerning
instant case but also provided other statements not pertinent to
cass at issue. Trial attorney will thus be prepared in event in~
formant testifies on direct examination or cross-examination that
he furnished information in addition to his testimony. .

2. Recording written and oral information :

a. Written by informant

. 1 My be in handwriting or hand printing of informant or typed.

2 Original only should be submitted and informants should never~-

retain any copies or notes relating thereto. Continuously
check informants to see that they do not keep any notes or
copies. .

(3) Prepare on paper devoid of any Bureau markings or identifica-

tion.

(4) ° Date when informant prepares statement should be placea at

top of statement.

(5) A11 information obtained by informants regarding each meeting

‘ or separate activity in which they engage should be sub-
mitted in one statement.

(6) Informants showld include in statements specific dates and
places; purpose of meeting or activity being related; iden-
tities of speakers and persons present, plus their known status
in any group; and Specific activity or comments of individuals
present.

(7) Informant should identify statement by affixing his code name
immediately under the last written line on each page. Any cor--
rections, erasures, changes, or additions should be identified

: by informant affixing his code name or initials of his code name,
{3 Agents' names should never appear on any page, :
Informant should refer to himself in body of statement by his
true name and use third person,
(10) Agent receiving written statement should not make any corrections,
: additions, deletions, etc,., or place any markings whatever thereon.
(11) Do not block stamp or serialize. Receipt and serialization .
should be recorded on form FD-306 or on channelizing memorandum
containing applicable items set forth on form FD-306,
(12) Extraneous material should be kept to absolute minimum. Informants
should leave out such items as:
2 Any reference concerning Director and Bureau
b References to other documents and statements submitted by
informant
{c) Obvious administrative material, such as operational in~
‘structions given by contacting Agent

(1) Contacting Agent should promptly reduce information to writing
so that it will be accurately recorded as contemporangously as
possible with making of oral statemant by informant to Agent. .
Leave out following items: .
a Any reference concerning Director and Bureau

{4) Separate statements should be prepared for eavh meeting or
separate activity in which informants engage and should be
G@ictated by Agent as if informant were preparing them himsel?.

(5) Information, after being reduced to writing, should be read
promptly by informant and acknowledged by affixing his code
name on each page. In espionage and foreign nationality
matters, such authentication is necessary only where future
prosecution is possible,

(6) After informant authenticates statement, contacting Agent -
should prepare cover sheet, form FD-306, which should be stapled
to it. Thereafter statemant should be handled as written one.

(7) Oral information furnished by informant purely of lead value
should be included in office memorandum by Agent and should
not be initialed by informant or exhibited to him or treated
as avidence.

Transmission of information

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting “Agent ‘by
informants when possible. Careful consideration should be given to
full security of all such contacts. They should never be mailed to
field office or resident agency. If they cannot be obtained per-
sonally by contacting Agent, obtain confidential post office boxes
for their receipt.

Confidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious
names and not under names of persons who may be listed in post
office directory. More than one informant may send statements to

a post office box, but consideration should be given to obtaining
post office boxes in different post office stations to prevent
suspicion on part of postal employees.

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address -of another
confidential post office box obtained under fictitious name.
Statements should be collected at post office boxes regularly, but
time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation where~-
by same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office box for -
extended period of time.-

When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest,
he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting Agent or
office by most appropriate means of communication.

Handling of lead information

All lead information obtained from informant must be run out to
logical conelusion,

If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case, tickler
card should be prepared to follow informant and take other logical
steps to obtain additional identifying data. Restrict tickler cards
to information which would warrant investigation if identity
established. If no identification is made after reasonable effort,
prepare memorandum for informant's subfile.

Handling documentary material furnished by informants

Pamphiets and similar documentary material furnished by informants
should have placed thereon informant's code name.

Informant should affix date he received material. If informant can-
not recall date of receipt, date he furnished material should be
affixed.

No additional markings of any kind, such as initials, date received,
permanent symbol number of informant, file numbers, indexing synibols,
etc., Should be placed on documentary -matorial.

Receipt of such material should be recorded on form FPD-306 or on a
channelizing memorandum containing all applicable items. See section
107K for filing instructions. : .

SYMBOLS
1, Assigning numbers

a, All informants should be designated by permanent symbol - number of
which Bureau must be advised. Once number assigned, it must not be
subsequently reassigned to any other informant or source.

b. Potential security informants and confidential sources whose identity
must be protected may be assigned permanent symbol numbers if they are
producing sufficient information to warrant use of such designations.

ec. Individuals to whom permanent symbols assigned are not to be advised
of such symbols,

a. Cover name should be used by informant in signing his statements and
in communications between informant and field office. Advise Bureau
of cover name, : -

6. Prefix of symbol number consists of appropriate field office teletype
abbreviation. Suffix of symbol number will consist of letter "S" for
security informant; letters "PSI" for potential security informant;
letters "OS" for confidential source.

f. Although source may subsequently furnish information requiring change
in designation (e.g., from security to criminal or to racial, etc.),
number previously assigned will remain same; however, suffix is to
be changed to appropriate letter or letters indicating this change
(NY-O000-S to NY-000-C or to NY-O000-R).

2. Communications ~- use of symbols

a. After Bureau is advised of permanent symbol, in subsequent communica-
tions true name of informant should not be set forth; use symbol
number. .

b. In all communications after initial letter, Bureau and field office
file numbers for informant must be set forth.

ce. In communications between offices, follow same procedure.

a. Informants and sources entering another division
(1) Active informants and sources entering another division on

temporary basis should be referred to in initial letter to
interested office by true name and symbol number if necessary
for other @ivision to know identity. Office receiving such
letter should make appropriate index cards for "Informants and
Sources in Other Divisions" index, Subsequent letters between

. interested offices may then identify individual by symbol number
only.

.(2) Individuals who leave division where they have been furnishing
information and do not plan to return should be immediately
discontinued, their symbol number, if any, should be cancelled,
and their true name used in all administrative correspondence.

(3) If informant is transferred to another office and remains active,
his identity must still be protected. .

e, In communications concerning. potential security informant when a
symbol number is not: assigned, name of potential security informant
and abbreviation "PSI" shall be used; e.g., "John Doe, SSI."

f. (In espionage and foreign nationality matters, caption of communica~
tion should also show character and country designation (i.e., IS - R
for Russia or IS - PO for Poland, etec.).. This facilitates routing
at Bureau. . , .

INDE ING :

True names and aliases of all informants, as well as cover name assigned, shall

Make evory effort to prevent discontinued informant from becoming involved

in situations which may prove embarrassing to informant or Government. ia

with informant in presence of Agent who handled informant. This interview ‘

should be conducted in field office and informant told that:

a, He will no longer be operated by Bureau .

b. Since he is public figure, he will probably be contacted by re presenta~
tives of press, radio, and television for interviews and appearances

ce. He may be sought as witness by congressional committees, Immigration >
and Naturalization Service, and state authorities :

ad. In connection with such interviews and appearances, informant must
continue to be factual and truthful and must not build up or embellish
statements, for if he does so he will wind up in serious trouble

Advise Bureau results of such interview and comment on its possible sffeo~
tiveness. .

Be alert to possibilities of former informant being contacted by vepresen-~
tatives of publicity media and as witness by congressional committees,

INS, and state authorities. SAC is responsible for knowing when former informant
is scheduled or is likely to appear at hearing or make public’appearanceof -

of any kind. Prior thereto in each instance, former informant must be

contacted and instructions above reiterated by Agent who handled informant..
Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to truth and make certain

he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he will be sub~
jected to criticism, possible libel, slander, or other criminal actions.

If he inquires as to whether he should appear or testify or otherwise

cooperate with any public or private individual or agency, advise him he

must make that decision himself, but if he has appeared as Government

witness in case which has not been finally adjudicated and decides in
affirmative, he should contact USA for instructions, Advise Bureau of any

such situations and results of any interviews conducted,

When contacting Agent feels discontinued informant could cause embarr2ss- .
ment to Bureau, make arrangements to have former informant come to fi: 1a (
office where he will be personally met by SAC. At that time, he shovid be
impressed with fact that his services were appreciated and were of consid~
erable assistance to security of country and remind him that he signed agrees
ment when he was active as informant to maintain his relation with Bureau _

on confidential basis. SAC should stress necessity for informant to main-

tain this confidence. .

FURNISHING INFORMANTS TO IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INS)

INS, in order to enforce its responsibilities, must obtain evidence to
prove that certain aliens, due to their membership in certain groups, are
undesirable and deportable or subject to denaturalization.

Cooperate fully with INS in these cases and make efforts consistent with
your own interests to make available information and witnesses where -
possible.

If contacted by INS inquiring for informants and you have discontinued
informant or one who would be of assistance to INS and whose loss would ‘not
affect your work, furnish his identity to Bureau, together with your
recommendation.

Bureau will review facts and advise as to whether or not his identity may
be disclosed to INS.

At times informants and/or sources temporarily Lose their jobs

and become eligible for unemployment compensation. Where un-
employment regulations require listing of all sources of income as
prerequisite for unemployment compensation and informants and/or
sources who are being paid by Bureau fail to comply, situation’ is
potentially embarrassing. Bureau cannot be placed in position of

- condoning violation of state law on part of any informant or source.

Field office must determine from state unemployment compensation
officials effect of unemployment compensation laws on paid informants
and/or sources. Depending on local requirements, informants and
sources must be alerted accordingly.

When paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has knowledge
of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and submit
recommendations to Bureau on UACB basis. <At same time, weigh seriously
possible need for informant to apply and accept unemployment compen-
sation to protect his security. Fellow members of subversive organi-
zation may be aware of his unemployment status and would expect him
to apply. Where state requires notification of Bureau payments to in-
formants that would necessitate disclosure of identity, discontinue
Bureau payments during period of unemployment compensation benefits.

SECTION 107. SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFID . TAL SOURCES.

 ) ‘

Make every effort to prevent discontinued informant from becoming involved
in situations which may prove embarrassing to informant or Government. .
Immediately after he testifies for first time, SAC should have serious talk ‘4

with informant in presence of Agent who handled informant. This interview

should be conducted in field office and informant told that:

a.
be

Ce

ad.

He will no longer be operated by Bureau

Since he is public figure, he will probably be contacted by re presenta
tives of press, radio, and television for interviews and appearances

He may be sought as witness by congressional committees, Immigration
and Naturalization Service, and state authorities

In connection with such interviews and appearances, informant must
continue to be factual and truthful and must not build up or embellish’
statements, for if he does so he will wind up in serious trouble

Advise Bureau results of such interview and comment on its possible effec-
tiveness, :

Be alert to possibilities of former informant being contacted by vepresen--

tatives of publicity media and as witness by congressional committees,

INS,
is s

and state authorities. SAC is responsible for knowing when former informant |
cheduled or is likely to appear at hearing or make public appearanceocf ° ae

of any kind. Prior thereto in each instance, former informant must be

contacted and instructions above reiterated by Agent who handled informant.
Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to truth and make certain

he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he will be sub-
jected to criticism, possible libel, slander, or other criminal actions.

Tf he inguires as to whether he should appear or testify or otherwise

cooperate with any public or private individual or agency, advise him he

must make that decision himself, but if he has appeared as Government

witness in case which has not been finally adjudicated and decides in
affirmative, he should contact USA for instructions, Advise Bureau of any

such situations and results of any interviews conducted.

When contacting Agent feels discontinued informant could cause embarr2ss- -
ment to Bureau, make arrangements to have former informant come to 24-14 (
office where he will be personally met by SAC. At that time, he should be
impressed with fact that his services were appreciated and were of consid-
erable assistance to security of country and remind him that he signed agreer
ment when he was active as informant to maintain his relation with Bureau

on confidential basis. SAC should stress necessity for informant to main-

tain this confidence. .

INS ,

FURNISHING INFORMANTS TO IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INS)

in order to enforce its responsibilities, must obtain evidence to

prove that certain aliens, due to their membership in certain groups, are
undesirable and deportable or subject to denaturalization. .
Cooperate fully with INS in these cases and make efforts consistent with
your own interssts to make available information and witnesses where
possible.

If contacted by INS inquiring for informants and you have discontinued

affect your work, furnish his identity to Bureau, together with your
recommendation.

Bureau will review facts and advise as to whether or not his identity may
be disclosed to INS.

Before any informant is turned over to INS, obtain his permission. :

SECTION 107 SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFI" —NTTIAL SOURCES

Six-month evaluation of informants not paid on Bureau authority

If the informant is not being paid on Bureau authorization, a communi-

cation (FD-401} must be transmitted to the Bureau every six months after

the date of designation containing the same information set out in saction

{130H, litem 2b, of this manual except those items concerning payments.

Recommendation of SAC regarding continuance of informant should also be

set forth UACB. In espionage and foreign nationality cases comment is

necessary regarding only those applicable items in section [130H, Jitem

2b, of this manual.

Receipts .

When payments are made to anyone for information or assistance on security

matters, either on the SAC's authority or on prior Bureau approval, receipts

must be obtained in every instance in which it is possible to do so, . If a

receipt cannot be obtained for a particular payment, complete circumstances

should be set forth on the blue slip at the time reimbursement is claimed.

a. Receipts should be of such a nature that they will be self—sufficient
so that, if it becomes necessary to introduce the. receipts in evidence
‘during the course of a trial, the receipts will not relate to other
documents or files. :

b. Receipts should clearly show:

. 1) Date on which payment was made
2) Period for which made when informant is paid on a period basis
3). Potal amount paid broken down into separate amounts for services
or expenses where these items are pertinent

{3} Name of Agent making payment .

5 Signature of person receiving the money

¢. Receipts are not to be witnessed by another Agent. .

ad. If necessary to make corrections on the receipts, such corrections
‘must be initialed by the informant and not by the Agent.

e. When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of expenses to the
Bureau, they should be stapled directly to the blue slip, leaving a-
margin of at least one inch to one and one~half inches at the top to
avoid contact with the Acco fastener punch, The staples should be
placed in such a manner that the date or other data appearing on the
receipt will not be mutilated and all information on the receipt oan
be easily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Care must
be taken that receipts are of such a nature that they clearly show
payment of money and do not refer to any other documentary material
contained in Bufiles.

Income tax returns .
a. Informants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau
' should be advised that such compensation must be reported as income

when filing an income tax return,

return, form 1040, as income received from other sources for
personal services rendered through a private enterprise or

similar general term applicable to informant's position and station
in life.

c¢, If the informant is self-employed and files a schedule C as a self—
employed individual, it may be possible to include his Bureau income
with his self-employed income from other sources without revealing
connection with the Bureau,

a, Effective 1-1~65, in those instances in which the informant cannot
report payments received from the Bureau for services without jeop-
ardizing his security as an informant, such payments will be subjeot
to a 20 per cent withholding tax. There are four categories of
circumstances in which taxes will not be withheld. Taxes are not to
be withheld from payments made (1) to other than security informants
and sources, (2) for reimbursement of expenses, (3) under SAC
authority, or (4) to informants who have been able to report Bureau
income on their Federal tax returns without jeopardizing their security
or without challenge from the Internal Revenue Service, Each office
has detailed instructions and exhibits concerning the procedure to
be followed in the handling and centrol of money withheld.

- gource, individual should be tactfully requested to execute 2 brief
signed written statement for field file setting forth that this in-
dividual has voluntarily come forward to furnish information to FBI .
because of his concern over individuals or groups that may be inimical
to interests of U. S. Government and that he understands that FBI has no
interest in legitimate institution or campus activities. Taking.this
statement should place Bureau in a position to refute possible subse=
quent false allegations as to nature and purpose of source! 8 coopera~
tion with FBI. . ne noe .
2. Quarterly letters

SECTION 107. “ECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFIDE” AL SOURCES 107N

When payment to an informant has been authorized for a definite

period of time, advise the Bureau at least two weeks in advance of the
expiration of the period for which payment has been authorized as to
vhether the services of the informant are to be continued.

Every six months a letter of justification (FD-401) should be submitted
to the Bureau requesting continuation of payments. Follow instructions
set forth in section [130H, item 2b, of this manual, .
Letters requesting authority to' continue (increase, decrease) payments
to an informant should be submitted in duplicate except that the

copy should consist only of the first page of the letter. When
peyments as requested by the field are approved, the single—page |

recommendation is not approved, correspondence will be prepared

and transmitted to the field.

In order for this system to function properly, payment letters must

be explicit.

_When payments are authorized by the Bureau, it is the personal responsi

G. INTERVIEWS WITH AND DEVELOPMENT OF BACKGROUND ON INDIV: DUALS BEING .
CONSIDERED FOR -LNFORiIANT PURPOSES ee _
When a2 decision is made to consider a particular ‘indi: lual for informant
purpeses, background investigation must be conducted. “xtensive background
investigation should nov, be conducted, however, until the individual hes
been interviewed and it has been determined he is willing to assist the . woe
Burean. Obtain prior Bureau authority to interview whenever the restrictions “3
imposed in section 87D, item 5b, (7), volume IIT, and section 105K, item 6b, :

3. Inguiries of discreet nature to obtain information concerning the individ—
ual's personal history (date and place of birth, etc.), patriotism, . .
health, reliability, stability, -integr: >» general reputation, present and !

. definitely establish that the individuei can be utilized without any.
- danger of future embarrassment @ue to instability or unreliability. ;
Securing background information from the individual is not sufficient;
his background must be established by the investigation, including discreet
inquiries among persons who are personally acquainted sith him.
4. Check of local credit and arrest records. Obtain nec-csary data for
the completion of an FD—9 form which should be trancem sed to the Tdenti- |

as to what can be Gone for him in such a case, he may be told that
his cooperation is a matter of record in the FBI and if some question
arises concerning his loyalty we will consider making the facts of his
coopevation with the FBI known to his employer or to the responsible

Agents must not have and use informants known only to the individual
Agents personally.

F.- INDOCTRINATION, DIRECTION, AND CONTROL OF SECURILY INFORMANTS
1. Cantion against divulging relationship
a. During initial development and consistently thereafter, impress
upon informant the absolute necessity that he refrain from divulging
through any media any information regarding his relationship with
Bureau.
b. These instructions must be properly worded and phrased to prevent
any possibility Bureau's being accused of attempting to impose
censorship.
2. Developing additional background
a. During development of informant, edditional data ‘concerning his
background should be continuously obtained from informant,
bv. After gaining informant's confidence, information will be elicited
which may be pertinent to his operation and may have effect upon
his retention, such as data revealing he is mentally or emotionally
unstable, or has some personal problem which wowld make him a risk
as an informant. ,
3, Handling indications of instability
ae Details of any indications of instability should be furnished ‘to
the Bureau immediately upon being obtained, with recommendations as
to informant's continuance.
b, Set forth the steps being taken to prevent any embarrassment to
Bureau.
4, Contacts by Agents
a. Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where the
frequency of contact is dependent on the circumstances of each
( case, informants should be contacted as often as necessary, but
at least one personal contact should be made every two weeks,
b, If such frequent contacts cannot be established, obtain specific ,
Bureau authority for an exception to this requirement (except in
espionage and foreign nationality matters), In requesting such
exception, set forth all attendant circumstances, :
c¢. During each contact, informant's activities since previous contact
. should be carefully reviewed and the contacting Agent should make
certain the informant has furnished in writing or verbally all
information and data which he has obtained since the last contact, -
If additional or supplementary information is furnished during this
contact with the informant, this informetion should be handled in the
same manner as outlined in subsection G,
d. Contacting Agent should become so well acquainted with informant
that he will not breach the confidential relationship, If there
is slightest indication informant may do so, Agent should be able
: : to anticipate this action and forestall it. . -
an : e, Contacting Agent should not only collect information but also direct
: . informant, be aware of his activities, and maintain such close rela—
tionship that he. knows how intormant is thinking with regard to
Bureau connection, This relationship should not be so reciprocal
that informant obtains information concerning Agent or Agent's
pusiness, personal or official. -
£.. Good judgment must prevail in handling informant to see he does net
become too familiar with Agent and later cause embarrassment to
Agent or Bureau by using for his own advantage such knowledge which
he may obtain.
g. Promptly advise Bureau of any indication informant is wavering in
Bureau relationship, .

Cc.

In double agent operations information requested by the principals
is frequently passed either to build up a double agent's stature
ov as evidence of espionage activity.

Each case must be carefully evaluated to make certain that a net
gain accrues to the U, S,

The information which is passed should be carefully handled and
appropriate explanations created for its acquisition by the double
agent to avoid his compromise.

2. Locating information to pass
Wherever possible the field office handling the double agent should
Locate appropriate information to be passed; however, the Bureau can
‘assist in fulfilling requests for information in possession of
Government agencies,
3. Obtaining Bureau authority
Bureau authority must be obtained to pass any information in a double
agent operation except:

should preserve any notes made by them in connection with the passage
of such material,

Similar action should be taken with vegerd to any material which is
passed which is considered evidentiary although not. clearly related
to the national defense,

Tt is not necessary to retain copies of buildup material obviously |
not evidentiary in nature where there is assurance that copies can

be obtained at a later date from the Government agency or private

Four—month evaluation of informants not paid on Bureau euthority

If the informant is not being paid on Bureau authorization, 2 communi~
cation must be transmitted to the Bureau every four months after the
date of designation containing the same information set out above in
subsection 3b except those items concerning payments. Recommendation

—,

In espionage and foreign nationality cases comment is necessary regarding

only those applicable items in subsection 3b.

Receipts . : - | -

When payments are mede to anyone for information or assistance on security

matters, either on the SAC!s authority or on prior Bureau approval, receipts

must be obtained in every instence in which it is possible to do so. If a

receipt cannot be obtained for a particular payment, complete circumstances

should be set forth on the blne slip at the time reimbursement is claimed.

a. Receipts should be of such a nature that they will be self--sufficient
so that, if it becomes necessary to introduce the receipts in. evidence
during the course of a trial, the receipts will: not relate to other
documents or files, ‘

b. Receipts should clearly show: :

1 Dete on which payment was made

2 Period for which made when informant is paid on a period basis

3) Total amount paid broken down into separate amounts fo~ services
or expenses where these items are pertinent

{3} Name of Agent making payment

5 Signature of person receiving the money

c. Receipts are not to be witnessed by another Agent.

a. If necessary to make corrections on the receipts,- such corrections
must be initialed by the informant and not by the Agent.

é. When transmitting receipts and itemized-statements of expenses to the
Bureau, they should be stapled directly. to the blive slip, Leaving a
margin of at least one inch to one and one~half inches at the top to
avoid contact with the Acco fastener punch. The staples should be
place&’ in such a manner that the date or other data appearing on the
reseipt will not be mutilated and all information on the receipt can
be easily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Csre must
be taken that receipts are of such a nature that they clearly show
payment of money and do not refer to any other documentary material
contained in Bufiles, ;

Income tax returns

a. Informants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau
should be advised that such compensation must be meponted as income
when filing an income tax return. r .

b. Bureau income should be set forth[on the }Federal income ‘tax - : ~4

return, form 1040, as income received from other sources for
personal services rendered through a private enterprise or
similar general term applicable to informant's position and station
in life.

ce, If the informant is self-employed and files a schedule C as a self
employed individual, it may be possible to include his Bureau income
with his self-employed income from other sources without revealing

ad. Effective 1-1~-65, in these instances in which the informant cannot

report payments received from the Bureau for services without jeop- “4

ardizing his security as an informant, such payments will be subject
to a 20 per cent withholding tax, There are four categories of -
circumstances in which taxes will not be withheld; ‘faxes are not to “
be withheld from payments made (1) to other than security informants -

and sources, (2) for reimbursement of expenses, (3) under SAG

authority, or (4) to informants who have been able to report Bureau =
income on their Federal tax returns without jeopardizing their security
or without challexge from the Internal Revenue Service. Each office
has detailed instructions and exhibits concerning the procedure to

be followed in the handling and control of money withheld.

SECYLON 107, eo INPORMALTS AND CONKIUE yan SOURCES

[e.}] When an informant or former informant is initially considered as a
potentiel witness ina Bureau care, determine whether he paid
Federal and state taxes on the income he received from the Bureau
for his services, Jf such tanes have not been paid, obtain all
pertinent details and promptly sulwit recomaendations for handling
the situation.

7. Stipulation re payments meade to witnesses

a, In trials in which informants, formar informants, or other persons who
were paid sums of money are prespective witnesses, the Buresxu must
furnish the Department a set of phutostats of the original receipts

signed by the prospective witnesses. he original receipts and a set
of photostats will be transmitted to the field office in whose .
territory the trial will take plece. The office handling prosecution

must determine frou the Government attorney which individuals are
to be used as witnesses. Thereafter the office should furnish and/or
cause other appropriate offices to furnish to the Bureau the follow-
ang information: .
1 The correct, full name
2 ALL aliases, code names, and symbol numbers
3 fhe first date of contact by your office
4 Tf first contact was prior to September, 1944, the names of all
SAs, SACs, and ASACs who contacted and may have made payments
{5) A tabulation of all payments, braken down as to the amount appli-
cable to services and the amount applicable to expenses.
Although tabulations are not furnished to the Department, those
prepared by your office will be réconciled with Bureau records.
(6) A Listing of any advances, refunds, and outstanding balances of
advances
7 The date of last contact by your office ,
8 Whether the individual has been contacted by any other office

be Each individual and each item of information must be accounted for.
If no contact was made with a particular individual, the Bureau must
be so advised,

ec, Where, an informant hes previously been used and a tabulation of pay-
ments was prepared, information for items {5) through (8) need be given
only from the date of the last trial from which the in@ividual was
used,

a. ‘The above information should be submitted separate and apart from
correspondence setting forth derogatory information, and should be
addressed to the attention of the Administrative Division, Voucher
Unit. Interdivisional correspondence shovld be addressed to the
Bureau with copies designated for the interested offices,

8, Receipt of unemployment compensation .

a. At times security informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs”
with private industry due to strikes, economic conditions, or similar
circumstances. As a result they become eligible for unemployment
compensation, Where unemployment regulations require listing of all
sources of income as a prerequisite for obtaining unemployment
compensation and security informants and/or sources who at the time
are being paid by the Bureau for services rendered fail to comply, fet
the situation is potentially embarrassing, The Bureau cannot he: se
placed in the position of condoning a violation of the state Law on-
the part of any informant or source, Each field office must determine
from state unemployment compensation officials effect of unemployment
compensation laws on paid informents and/or sources, Depending on
local requirements, informants ‘and sources must be alerted.accordingly.

b. Whenever a paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or hag
knowledge of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and
submit observations and recommendations to Bureau. Unless advised
to the contrary by the Bureau, follow recommended action. Each
office must assume the responsibility of guarding against informantts
accepting a Dureau payment that weuld conflict with unemployment
compensation laws. At the same time, weigh seriously the possible
reed for an informant to apply and accept unemployment compensation to
proteot his security. Fellow members of the pertinent subversive
ovganization may be aware of his unemployment status and would expect
him to apply. Where a state requires notification of Bureau payments
to informants that would necessitate disolosure of their identity,
then Bureau payments should be Giscontinued during the period they
receive unc employment compensation benefits

9, Hendling money and property received by aouble agents

a, Double agents must turn over to the Bureau any money or property
received from their principals in connection with the double agent
intelligence opezatio: This shauld be made clear to the double

cally approved by the t.ireau, Entirely -«parate arrangements must
be made for payments to double agents for services renderad to the
Bureau.

b, Any money or property received by a double agent from his principal
reocesents possible future evidence and the double agent should
execute 2a statement describing the money received by type of currency,
denomination, series of issue, and serial number and appropriately
describing any other property received, This statement should be
signed by the double agent‘s code name,

ce. Money or. ‘property received from double agents should be retained 28
evidence in accordance with section 3, part II, Manual oF Rules and
Regulations,

a. Bureau Agents receiving such money or property from double agents

should make independent records for retention for purposes of refresh~ _

ing recolleotion in the event testimony is later necessary, -

O. SEMIANNUAL LETTER

A semiannual Letter should be submitted to the Bureau by each office as

follows: .

1. List the symbol numbers of all security informants and confidential

- sources being paid under Bureau authority (not SAC authority) for
services .or expenses, If the confidential source has no symbol
number, list his name. a .

2. Also list the symbol numbe-. sf all security infermanis not paid
under Bureau authority.

3. Set forth any comments cor:-.ning the present «batus of the informant
coverare of the office, to,. ther with informa*t:on concerning what actions

. 4, As a separate section of the semiannual letter, list under "Headquarters
- ~City" and each resident agency all subversive organizations broken down
into each division and unit thereof, such as clubs, committees, and
chapters. . : : .

Under each unit ths approximate membership, together with the symbol

{6} After informant authenticates his statement, oontacting Agent
should prepare a cover sheet, form FD-306, which should be stapled
to it and thereafter the statement should be handled as a
written one in acoordance with instructions set out in 2, a,
(10), and (11).

(7) Oral information furnished by informant purely of lead value

“should be incorporated in an office memorandum by the Agent

-and should not be initialed by the informant or exhi bi ted to
him or treated as evidence, : . -

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting Agent by
informants whenever possible. Careful consideration should be

given to full security of all’ such personal contacts,

They should never be mailed to field office or resident agency.

If they cannot be obtained personally by contacting Agent, obtain
confidential post office boxes for their receipt.

Confidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious
names and not under names of persons who may be listed in post office
directory. -

More than one informant may send statements to a speoific post office
box, but consideration should be given to obtaining post office boxes
in different post office stations to prevent suspicion on part of
post office employees.

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address of another
confidential post office box obtained under a fictitious name in the
Same manner as d, .

Statements should be collected at post office boxes regularly,

but time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation
whereby same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office box
for any extended period of time.

When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest
to Bureau, he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting
Agent or office by most appropriate means of communication. Office
should take any necessary action without delay.

ALL Lead information obtained from informant must be run out to

a logical conclusion,

If there is only partial name of individual or meager desoriptive
data, and if there is sufficient data available to do so, file should

necessary action.

If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case,

a tickler card should be prepared to follow with the informant and
take other Logical steps in an effort to obtain additional identifying
data concerning the individual. Tickler cards should be restricted

to information which would warrant investigation if an identity is
established, This will eliminate inconsequential items, but at the
same time definite steps must be taken to run out affirmative informa—
tion, Xf no identification is made after reasonable effort, prepare
memorandum for informant's subfile. If an identification is made,

therewith,

Pamphlets and similar documentary material furnished by informants
should have placed thereon the informant's code name or oode symbol
(not his true name or his permanent symbol number),

Informant should affix date he received the material, If informant
cannot recall date of receipt, the date he furnished material should
be affixed,

No additional markings of any kind, such as initials, date received,
permanent symbol number of informant, file nambers, indexing symbols,

a.

db.

At times informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs

and become eligible for unemployment compensation. Where un-
employment regulations require listing of all sources of income as
prerequisite for unemployment compensation and informants and/or
sources who are being paid by Bureau fail to comply, situation is
potentially embarrassing. Bureau cannot be placed in position of
condoning violation of state law on part of any informant or source,
Field office must determine from state unemployment compensation
officials effect of unemployment compensation laws on paid informants
and/or sources. Depending on local requirements, informants and
sources must be alerted accordingly.

When paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has knowledge
of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and submit
recommendations to Bureau on UACB basis. At same time, weigh seriously
possible need for informant to apply and accept unemployment compen-
sation to protect his security. Fellow members of subversive organi-
zation may be aware of his unemployment status and would expect him
to apply. Where state. requires notification of Bureau payments to in-
formants that would necessitate disclosure of identity, discontinue
Bureau payments during period of unemployment compensation benefits.

SECTION 107. INTERNAL SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES; 107W
AND FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ASSETS

NSECRET - NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"

Disinformation ;

The passage of deceptive information by an OA is a complex operation
which requires detailed planning and coordination between field office
and FBIHQ. This technique should be employed only in OA operations
in which the foreign intelligence service has apparently accepted the
bona fides of the OA, when the benefit will clearly outweigh the risk
to the overall OA operation.

OA cover story

Be aware that a foreign intelligence principal may interrogate an OA
in great detail as to how he secured his information, his family
situation, his modus operandi, motivation, etc. Handling FBI SA must
adequately prepare an OA for this probability. The most credible
cover story is the one which involves the least fabrication.

Unless security or other considerations dictate otherwise, the OA
should personally obtain the information he passes.

Receipt of money or property by OA

Impress upon each OA that money or property received from a foreign
intelligence principal or agent must be turned over to the FBI since
retention of this money would put the OA in technical violation of
Federal statutes, and this money may be used as evidence or exhibit.
Compensation to the OA from the FBI for his cooperation is to be
handled separately. Nominal or personal gifts, necessary for the OA's
security and to maintain his relationship with the principal, may be
given back to the OA by his handling FBI SA, following FBIHQ approval.
Consider the desirability and feasibility of obtaining a signed state-
ment from each OA reflecting his understanding of this requirement.
The obtaining of such a statement is not mandatory, but desirable.

Department attorneys have advised that, while it is not necessary to
preserve that actual currency received by an OA, it is highly desirable
to do so in cases in which prosecution could ensue. Whether or not the
actual currency is retained, obtain_a written statement from the OA
describing the currency received by[type of note and issuing Federal
Reserve Bank, |Jdenomination, series number, and serial number; and

also make an independent record of such currency.

The above instructions are not to be interpreted to require the im-

pounding of funds paid to an OA by a foreign government or foreign

intelligence service for goods or services rendered by the OA in

legitimate, business transactions.

Payments to FCI assets - either OA or TA

ae When deemed necessary and expedient, each SAC is authorized to
expend up to $400 to develop FCI assets. This money may be used
to pay for services and/or expenses. This authority is renewable
by FBIHQ if the initial $400 has been expended. Blue slip re-
claiming payments from FBIHQ need not summarize information
obtained since proliferation of this information could possibly
jeopardize asset's security.

FBIHQ authority
(1) If FCI asset is of such continuing value to justify regular
payments, such payments must be approved by FBIHQ.
(2) When initially requesting regular payment, submit evaluation
via coded "Nitel" in the following order:
(a} Amount paid to date, broken down into expenses and
services
(>) Number of contacts with handling FBI SA since last
evaluation
(c) Evaluation of stability and reliability
(d) Concise summary of most valuable information furnished
since last evaluation
Ce} Miscellaneous - changes in personal status, residence,
employment, personal problems, etc., since last evaluation
(Cf) SAC recommendations for authority to pay asset for next
six-month period; specify amount to be authorized for
services and amount for expenses
(3) Continuation request should be made two weeks in advance of
expiration of authority.
(4) Submit an interim request for increase in regular payments
authorized via coded "Nitel," with full justification.
Receipts
When payments are made either on SAC authority or FBIHQ authority,
obtain réceipts whenever possible. If receipt cannot be obtained,
set forth circumstances on blue slip at time reimbursement is claimed.
(1) Receipts should be self-sufficient so that, if it becomes
necessary to introduce receipts in evidence, they will not @

relate to other documents or files.
(2) Receipts should show:
{a} Date when payment was made
(b) Period for which made when asset is paid on period basis
(c) Total amount paid broken down into separate amounts for
services and expenses
(4d) Name of PBI SA making payment
Ce) Signature of asset receiving money using pseudonym assigned
(3) Receipts are not to be witnessed.
(4) If necessary to make corrections on receipts, they must be
initialed by asset and not by FBI SA.
(5) When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of expenses
’ to FBIHQ, staple them directly to blue slip so that all infor-
mation on receipt can be read without detaching it from -blue
slip ry

OA

Whether OA is paid (under either FBIHQ or SAC authority) or unpaid,
submit coded "Nitel" every six months evaluating OA according to the
format of 26. b. (2). [If the OA is unpaid, submit six-month eval-
uation and request for continued utilization, if appropriate, on
UACB basis.] If the OA has been paid during the preceding six-
month period, merely set out the amount paid during that period
(under 26. b. (2) (a)).

6. Post record of all contacts with potential informants.

7. During contacts with potential informants, if it develops individual
does not have necessary capabilities, discontinue efforts.

8. Informants may raise a question concerning their position if it becomes
known publicly they are affiliated with subversive organization. In
such case, he may be told that his cooperation is matter of record in
FBI and if some question arises concerning his loyalty we will consider
making facts of his cooperation known to his employer or to responsible

. individuals. Before taking steps to advise anyone of potential infor-
mant's or informant's cooperation, obtain Bureau authority.

9. From first interview with potential informant through development and
until discontinued, use extreme caution at all times to be certain he is
not a plant.

10, When potential informant begins to furnish current information and

j otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, advise Bureau.
This communication must be personally initialed by SAG or ASAC
acting in his absence. Individual's background must be thoroughly
reviewed at this time, keeping in mind possibility of using inform
ant as witness, If individual has any weaknesses, set forth safe-

E. BUREAU POLICY

Ll. Development of military personnel
Do not develop informants among active duty military personnel.

2. Contacts by designated Agents
Contacts with informant or potential informant should only be made by
Agent or Agents specifically designated to contact him.

3. Divulging information to infotmant
No information should be divulged to potential informant or informant
concerning any of Bureau's investigative activity other than that which
is essential to his proper operation.

4, Recording investigative activity
All investigative activity must be made matter of record in field office
files with all sources of information being completely identified. Agents
must not have and use informants known only to individual Agents personally.

5. All informants and sources are to be debriefed on at least a monthly

. basis regarding their knowledge of narcotics activities.

{6- All pending informant files are to be reviewed personally by appropriate
supervisory personnel on a regular periodic basis not to exceed_60 days.
This review must include the informant's file and its subfiles.

F. INDOCTRINATION, DIRECTION, AND CONTROL OF INFORMANTS

1. Caution against divulging relationship
During initial development and consistently thereafter, impress upon
informant absolute necessity that he refrain from divulging his rela-
tionship with Bureau. These instructions must be properly phrased to
prevent possibility of Bureau's being accused of attempting to impose
censorship.

2. Developing additional background
During development of informant, additional data concerning his back-
ground should be continuously obtained from informant, Be alert for
data revealing he is mentally or emotionally unstable, or has some
personal problem which would make him a risk.

3. Indications of instability

@ Immediately furnish details of any indications of instability to Bureau,

with recommendations as to informant's continuance and comments as to
any steps being taken to prevent embarrassment to Bureau.

ae Informants should be contacted as often as necessary, but at least
one personal contact should be made every two weeks. If such fre-
quent contacts cannot be established, obtain specific Bureau author-
ity for exception to this requirement.

b. During each contact, carefully review informant's activities since
previous contact and make certain informant has furnished all in-
formation which he has obtained since last contact.

c. Contacting Agent should not only collect information but direct
informant, be aware of his activities, and maintain such close
relationship that he knows informant's attitude towards Burean.
Good judgment must prevail in handling informant to see he does
not become too familiar with Agent. Promptly advise Bureau of any
indication informant is wavering in Bureau relationship.

a. Arrangements for paying informant or pérsonally contacting him must
be specific and no doubt should be left in minds of either Agent >
or informant as to methods of payment, amount, place, and time.

@. Informants should use only public telephones in communicating with
contacting Agent and consideration should be given to furnishing
informants nonpublished office telephone number for emergency com-
munication.

written statement by informant or memorandum prepared by contacting

_ Agent to be placed in informant's subfile and appropriately
channelized,

informant's administrative file. Memorandum or form FD-209 may be
used. If informant contacted frequently, one memorandum or form
may be used for several contacts.

and should be thoroughly acquainted with informant so that contacts
may be handled by alternate Agent where necessary.

Checking reliability

a. Reliability of all active informants must be constantly checked.

b. Give consideration to use of any investigative technique deemed
necessary to be certain they are completely reliable and are fur-
nishing accurate, truthful information.

Fingerprints

a. After informant has been developed and unless some reason to
contrary exists, obtain and forward his fingerprints to Tdentifi-
cation Division if they are not on file there.

b. If informant refuses, do not force issue.

c. Forward informant's fingerprints as enclosure to FD-165 using
applicant-type fingerprint card, form FD-258, fully executed.
Appropriate field office should be shown as contributor, field
case file number in number space, and "inquiry" in space for
"company and address" on face of card.

PART I

DEFINITIONS

1. Security informant
Individual actively engaged in obtaining and furnishing current informa-
‘tion on security or intelligence matters exclusively for Bureau whose
identity must be protected. Such person should be member or attend
meetings of subversive organization, or be in such position relative to
subversive organization that he is able to provide current information
of value.

2. Potential security informant
Individual in position to become active in or closely connected with
subversive organization or intelligence activities and is making
affirmative effort to obtain and furnish current information to Bureau.

3. [Deleted] .

4. Confidential source
Individual who on’confidential basis furnishes information available
through his present position. Hxamples would be: bankers and telephone
company employees. These individuals make no concerted effort in behalf
of Bureau but furnish information readily available to them.

5. Panel source
Individual who is not involved in subversive group but who will attend
its public gatherings in behalf of FBI for intelligence purposes or as
potential witness

SOURCES OF POTENTIAL INFORMANTS

Informants should be devaloped on all organizations and individuals that are

inimical to internal security. Informants may be obtained through alertness

in course of normal investigative activity. Live informant colverage depends
Por most part upon initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs.
For assistance in obtaining potential informants, following is suggested:
L. Evaluation of
a. Complainants or other persons interviewed in séourity matters
b. Subjects of security investigations who show disaffection, loss of
interest, inactivity, financial hardship, or other repudiation of
party loyalty

o. Personal friends and contacts of Bureau employees
Sources of information, confidential sources, and contacts

Ze Review of closed security files and files of former security
informants

3- Review factionalism section of file on Communist Party, USA.

4, Consultation with present informants regarding indications of disaffec-
tion on part of subversive group members. They should not be informed as
to purpose of inquiry.

5. Review of files on communist front organizations looking for individuals
who have been associated with only one or two fronts or who attended only
a few meetings

BACKGROUND INQUIRIES ON INDIVIDUALS BEING CONSIDERED FOR INFORMANT PURPOSES
When decision is made to consider an individual for informant purposes, conduct
background investigation. Extensive background investigation should not be
conducted until individual has been interviewed and it has been determined he

is willing to assist Bureau. Obtain prior Bureau authority to interview when-
ever restrictions imposed in section 87, volume III, and section 105, volume IV,
of this manual, relative to interviews apply. Background investigation should
inelude:

1. Check of field office files

2. Discreet canvass of logical informants

ro7e-D SECTION 107. [iN AL JSECURITY INFORMANTS AND . ae SOURCES ;

AND FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ASSETS |

3. Inquiries of discreet nature concerning individual's personal history
(date and place of birth, etc.), patriotism, health, reliability,
stability, integrity, general reputation, present and past omployments,
and business connections. Investigation must definitely establish that
individual can be used without danger of future embarrassment due
to instability or unreliability. Securing background information from
individual is not sufficient; his background must be established by
investigation, including discreet inquiries among persons personally
acquainted with him.

4. Check local arrest records. Submit FD-165 to Identification Division to
obtain any record he may have and to place stop against fingerprints if

on file. In order to eliminate the possibility of jeopardizing the security

of Bureau informants, the word "Informant" should not be indicated in
blank ballot box on FD-165. It should be noted the informant file number
serves as an indication to the Identification Division of the type of
flash notice desired.

5. Review armed services record if applicable. FD~356 must be used in any
routine check pertaining to informants making sure all references, such
as symbol number, which would tend to identify individual as an
informant are deleted.

6e Check draft status or status in armed forces reserveo

7. Check domestic status and, if any marital difficulties, obtain details.

8. [Deleted]

Leads must be handled by auxiliary offices within 30 days. Investigation
must be completed prior to any request to guide, direct, or designate in-
dividual as potential security informant.

APPROVAL, TNDOCTRINATION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL INFORMANTS

1. When background information obtained, transmit results to Bureau in same
numerical sequence set out in subsection C, and request authority to des-
ignate individual as Bureau~approved potential security informant and to
proceed with development. Submit by secure teletype (usually Nitel),

Be brief and concise. Do not submit on UACB basis. Include physical

description.

a. If the individual is a student, include separate paragraph clearly
setting forth the number of extremist and/or security informants,
the number of potential extremist and/or potential security in-
formants, and the number of panel sources currently being operated at
the particular college or university to which the request pertains.

2. After designation as Bureau-approved potential security informant, fol-
lowing matters should be made clear to him:

a. His assistance is strictly voluntary and he is to understand there is
no coercion or intimidation involved.

b. He is not and cannot consider himself employee or “undercover Agent"
of FBI. Seriousness of violating impersonation statutes must be
impressed upon him.

c. His cooperation must be strictly confidential at all times and if
he should feel he cannot maintain this confidence, he should so
advise. There should be no doubt left in mind of potential informant
that his relationship must remain on confidential basis and if he
violates confidence he will be of no value and by so doing Bureau's
investigative activity may be jeopardized. If he has special
problem which would require revealing his assistance to his wife or
other pertinent individual, this should be ascertained and appropriate
recommendation made to Bureau.

a. If potential informant is connected in any manner with labor union,
inform him that Bureau is not interested in employer-employee relation-
ships as such and is only concerned with obtaining information on
infiltration of unions by subversive elements.

e. If potential informant is student, teacher, or has any similar
@ relations with school, college, or university, in initial interview
and subsequent handling, follow current instructions concerning
investigations on campuses.

3. Do not interview female potential informants in their homes or apartments
unless necessary and any such interviews should be conducted by two
Agents after specific approval of superior in field office responsible
for development of informants. This instruction is not applicable where
active investigation has established that potential informant is of good
character, there is no indication of affiliation with subversive groups
and there will be no embarrassment to Bureau.

Contact potential informants personally at least once every two weeks.
Advise Bureau of progress being made at least every six months. Submit
letters (FD-401L)concerning potential informants who are not being paid
on Bureau authorization on UACB basis; include summary of information
furnished during past six months and certifications regarding stability
and indoctrination against disclosure. Follow form indicated under

§ 107L, item 3b, below, except those items concerning payments.

Post record of all contacts with potential informants.

During contacts with potential informants, if it develops individual
does not have necessary capabilities, discontinue efforts.

Informants may raise a question concerning their position if it becomes
known publicly they are affiliated with subversive organization. In
such case, he may be told that his cooperation is matter of record in
PBI and if some question arises concerning his loyalty we will consider
making facts of his cooperation known to his employer or to responsible
individuals. Before taking steps to advise anyone of potential infor-
mant's or informant's cooperation, obtain Bureau authority.

From first interview with potential informant through development and
until discontinued, use extreme caution at all times to be certain he is
not a plant.

When potential informant begins to furnish current information and
otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, advise Bureau.

This communication must be personally initialed by SAG or ASAC

acting in his absence. Individualts background must be thoroughly
reviewed at this time, keeping in mind possibility of using inform

ant as witness. If individual has any weaknesses, set forth safe~
guards being followed to insure security and prevent embarrassment

to Bureau.

E. BUREAU POLICY

1. Development of military personnel
Do not develop informants among active duty military personnel.
} 2. Contacts by designated Agents
Contacts with informant or potential informant should only be made by
Agent or Agents specifically designated to contact him.
3. Divulging information to infotmant
No information should be divulged to potential informant or informant
concerning any of Bureau's investigative activity other than that which
is essential to his proper operation.
; 4, Recording investigative activity
All investigative activity must be made matter of record in field office
files with a11 sources of information being completely identified. Agents
must not have and use informants known only to imdividual Agents personally.
5. All informants and sources are to be debriefed on at least a monthly
f basis regarding their knowledge of narcotics activities,
F. INDOCTRINATION, DIRECTION, AND CONTROL OF INFORMANTS
Ll. Caution against divulging relationship
During initial development and consistently thereafter, impress upon
informant absolute hecessity that he refrain from divulging his rela-
tionship with Bureau, These instructions must be properly phrased to
prevent possibility of Bureau's being accused of attempting to impose
censorship.
2. Developing additional background
During development of informant, additional data concerning his back~
ground should be continuously obtained from informant. Be alert for
data revealing he is mentally or emotionally unstable, or has some
personal problem which would make hima risk.
3. Indications of instability

NW 88321 Docld:32989529 Page 1481

Immediately furnish details of any indications of instability to Bureau,
with recommendations as to informant's continuance and comments as to
any steps being taken to prevent embarrassment to Bureau.

[ ae Informants should be contacted as often as necessary, but at least
one personal contact should be made every two weeks. If such fre-
quent contacts cannot be established, obtain specific Bureau author-
ity for exception to this requirement.

b. During each contact, carefully review informant's activities since
previous contact and make certain informant has furnished all in-
formation which he has obtained since last contact.

c. Contacting Agent should not only collect information but direct
informant, be aware of his activities, and maintain such close
relationship that he knows informant's attitude towards Bureau.
Good judgment must prevail in handling informant to see he does
not become too familiar with Agent. Promptly advise Bureau of any
indication informant is wavering in Bureau relationship.

d. Arrangements for paying informant or personally contacting him must
be specific and no doubt should be left in minds of either Agent
or informant as to methods of payment, amount, place, and time.

e. Informants should use only public telephones in communicating with
contacting Agent and consideration should be given to furnishing
informants nonpublished office telephone number for emergency com-

{ munication.

f. Positive information received from informant should be subject of
written statement by informant or memorandum prepared by contacting
Agent to be placed in informant's subfile and appropriately
channelized.

g. Record dates of all contacts, whether negative or positive, in
informant's administrative file. Memorandum or form FD-209 may be
used. If informant contacted frequently, one memorandum or form
may be used for several contacts.

h. Dates of negative contacts and file numbers of cases involved must

appear in informant's administrative file. Where file has more than

one subject, name of subject under inquiry should be noted. Do not

set forth title of case involved.
i. If positive information received from informant, show only dates of
contacts in informant's administrative file. Place positive informa-

4. Contacts by Agents r )

tion in informant's subfile and appropriately channelize same.

3. Alternate Agent should be designated for contacts with informant
and should be thoroughly acquainted with informant so that contacts
may be handled by alternate Agent where necessary.

5. Checking reliability
a. Reliability of all active informants must be constantly checked.
b. Give consideration to use of any investigative technique deemed

necessary to be certain they are completely reliable and are fur-
nishing accurate, truthful information,

6. Fingerprints
a. After informant has been developed and unless some reason +o

contrary exists, obtain and forward his fingerprints to Identifi-
cation Division if they are not on file there, ‘

b. If informant refuses, do not force issue.

c. Forward informant's fingerprints as enclosure to FD-165 using
applicant-type fingerprint card, form FD-258, fully executed.
Appropriate field office should be shown as contributor, field

SECTION 107. PINTERNAL SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES; 107F
AND FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ASSETS |

Flash notice is to be placed by field with Identification Division
by submission of form FD-165, using informant's true name for each
informant who has fingerprints on file.

When informant is discontinued, retain flash notice for one year.

Insure that notice is canceled at that time by submission of form

FD-165 or advise Bureau as to why notice should be continued. If

fingerprints obtained solely for this purpose, remove fingerprints
from criminal file.

Control -— statement of cooperation

ae

De

Close control must be exercised over activities of informants to
obtain maximum results and prevent any possible embarrassment to
Bureau.

Obtain signed statement set out below when feasible and practical.
Where it is not practical to secure such signed statement from an
informant, advise Bureau of complete details. SAC and Agent handling
informant should determine appropriate time in informant's operation
when statement should be completed.

I; >» have voluntarily agreed to cooperate with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in a matter affecting the
security of the United States. TI consider it a patriotic
duty to so cooperate and agree to maintain this relation-

ship in strict confidence. I understand that I am not a
Federal employee and will not represent myself as such. [I
further agree not to make any disclosure or exploit in any
way information which I may obtain or any activity in which

I may engage on behalf of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
both while I am actively associated with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and thereafter, unless authorized to do so by
the Bureau.

Witnessed:

Execution of party questionnaires

Informants, particularly in Communist Party, often must execute party
questionnaires and in doing so should be instructed to be extremely
careful not to jeoparidze their position as informants. If necessary,
each item in questionnaire should be discussed with informant.

Informant's activity in organizations

ae

De

Informants in organizations must be impressed with necessity of
carrying on normal activity, such as canvassing, sale, and dis-
tribution of literature, leaflets, etc.

When feasible, informants should be instructed to accept direction
from leaders; request instruction and interpretation of organiza-
tion's precepts; request leaders to furnish sources for study
purposes; and enter discussions, not quietly sit back as observers.
Changes in organization's conduct, policy, or strategy should be
reported on as they occur. Have informants give their opinions of
motivation behind such changes, but be certain opinions are labeled
as such.

Informants must be encouraged to increase contacts within their orbit
in order to gain higher positions, but in such manner as to avoid
suspicion.

Transfer of informants to other areas

a. Keep alert to possibility of transferring informants to areas needing
coverage through change in ‘residence or employment.

b. Keep in mind overall coverage of organizations. If informant becomes
prominent and may be able to expand his field of activity beyond your
field division, encourage him to do so in order to provide wider cov-
erage for Bureau's work.

Action by informant when uncovered

a. If informant is uncovered by subversive elements, instruct him to de-
fend himself vigorously and demand proof of his informant activity.

b. Suspicion in many cases is directed to an informant without facts to
back it up and by bluffing informant may confuse issue to point where
his services may not be lost.

c. In some cases it may be necessary for informant to acquiesce to
charges of deviation from strict discipline of organization involved,
and thus cast off suspicion.

Requests of informant to help defend others

a. If requested by Communist Party, or other interested parties to assist
in preparation of defense in subversive~type cases or handle assign-
ment where such information is readily available, informant should
tactfully decline.

b. Such requests should be reported immediately to contacting Agent and
made matter of record.

ec. If informant cannot avoid becoming involved, instruct him not to report
any information pertaining to defense plans or strategy.

ad. Promptly report any such incident to Bureau.

e. If an informant is present in conversation between an attorney and
individual under criminal indictment, he should immediately leave,
If he is unable to do so and inadvertently learns of defense plans
or strategy, he is not to report the substance of any such
conversation to the FBI. Additionally, the informant is not to
engage in or report the substance of a conversation with a criminal
defendant dealing with the offense for which the defendant is
under indictment,

Preparation for testifying

Contacting Agent must condition informant to fact that someday knowledge

he possesses may be needed as evidence in court. Psychologically prepare

informant for fact that he may at future date be called upon to testify to
information he has furnished on security matters. Proper indoctrination
of informant is essential as Bureau must provide witnesses whenever

Department initiates prosecutions in security cases.

G. INFORMANTS' INFORMATION

1.

NW 683271 Docid:32989529 Page 1434

General instructions re oral and written information

a. These instructions apply to security informants, potential security
informants, panel sources, security confidential sources, and
security sources of information.

b. Specific instructions must be given to informants concerning prepara-
tion of statements containing their information.

c. They should be submitted as quickly as possible after meeting or
activity.

d. Written statements should be submitted when possible.

6, Carefully scrutinize each, bearing in mind that if informant is called
upon to testify at a later date his statements will very likely be
introduced in court.

£. <All information furnished by informants must be promptly reviewed,
recorded, indexed, evaluated, channelized, and all necessary action
taken. Form FD-306 may be used in lieu of channelizing memorandum if
desired. If so, prepare copies of FD-306 as needed for channelizing
and staple one copy to each copy of informant's statement being
channelized. Channelization should be noted on original FD-306 and
on all copies. In those instances in which an informant reports that
an individual attended a meeting but took no active part therein and/or

nothing transpired of potential prosecutive value with respect to the
individual, FD-306 should list the substantive case file number

or should list subject's name and it will not be necessary to staple

a copy of the informant's statement to FD~306. When informant's
statement contains references to large number of individuals and/or
organizations, and exceeds two pages, consider channelizing to sub-
stantive case file only those portions of statement which apply to
particular individual or organization. Of course, entire statement
should be filed in informant's subfile. This procedure should be
employed unless logical reason dictates otherwise. When preparing
lengthy channelizing memoranda reporting material of interest to other
offices, limit the number of copies prepared for each other such office
to two. Clearly indicate next to the name of the receiving office, the
number of the page containing information pertinent to that office and
note on cover page that distribution of material to the receiving field
office files is left to discretion of the receiving office. If the
channelizing memorandum includes names of individuals who merely
attended a meeting or gathering and played no important role, the
reporting office is to attach to the channelizing memorandum a one-
page memorandum listing the names of all individuals who were merely
in attendance and had no important function. The,preparation and
distribution of the additional copies of the one-page attachment are
left to the discretion of the receiving office.

Prior to any prosecution or administrative hearing, advise trial
attorney that informant not only furnished information concerning
instant case but also provided other statements not pertinent to

case at issue. Trial attorney will thus be prepared in event in-
formant testifies on direct examination or cross-examination that

he furnished information in addition to his testimony.

Recording written and oral information

Be

Written by informant
L May be in handwriting or hand printing of informant or typed.

2 Original only should be submitted and informants should never
retain any copies or notes relating thereto. Continuously
check informants to see that they do not keep any notes or
copies.

(3) Prepare on paper devoid of any Bureau markings or identifica-
tion.

(4) Date when informant prepares statement should be placed at
top of statement.

(5) Al1 information obtained by informants regarding each meeting
or separate activity in which they engage should be sub-
mitted in one statement.

(6) Informants should include in statements specific dates and
places; purpose of meeting or activity being related; iden-
tities of speakers and persons present, plus their known status
in any group; and specific activity or comments of individuals
present.

(7) Informant should identify statement by affixing his code name
immediately under the last written line on each page, Any cor-
rections, erasures, changes, or additions should be identified
by informant affixing his code name or initials of his code name.

{8 Agents' names should never appear on any page,

9 Informant should refer to himself in body of statement by his
true name and use third person.

(10) Agent receiving written statement should not make any corrections,
additions, deletions, etc., or place any markings whatever thereon.

(11) Do not block stamp or serialize. Receipt and serialization
should be recorded on form FD-306 or on channelizing memorandum
containing applicable items set forth on form FD-306,

(12) Extraneous material should be kept to absolute minimum. Informants
should leave out such items as:

(4) Separate statements should be prepared for each meeting or
separate activity in which informants engage and should be
dictated by Agent as if informant were preparing them himself.

(5) Information, after being reduced to writing, should be read
promptly by informant and acknowledged by affixing his code
name on each page.

(6) After informant authenticates statement, contacting Agent
should prepare cover sheet, form FD-306, which should be stapled
to it. Thereafter statement should be handled as written one.

(7) Oral information furnished by informant purely of lead value
should be included in office memorandum by Agent and should
not be initialed by informant or exhibited to him or treated
as evidence,

Transmission of information

a.

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting Agent by
informants when possible. Careful consideration should be given to
full security of all such contacts. They should never be mailed to
field office or resident agency. If they cannot be obtained per-
sonally by contacting Agent, obtain confidential post office boxes
for their receipt.

Confidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious
names and not under names of persons who may be listed in post
office directory. More than one informant may send statements to

a post office box, but consideration should be given to obtaining
post office boxes in different post office stations to prevent
suspicion on part of postal employees.

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address of another
confidential post office box obtained under fictitious name.
Statements should be collected at post office boxes regularly, but
time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation wheré-
by same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office box for
extended period of time.

When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest,
he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting Agent or
office by most appropriate means of communication.

Handling of lead information

ae

bd.

All lead information obtained from informant must be run out to
logical conclusion,

If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case, tickler
card should be prepared to follow informant and take other logical
steps to obtain additional identifying data. Restrict tickler cards
to information which would warrant investigation if identity
established. If no identification is made after reasonable effort,
prepare memorandum for informant's subfile.

Handling documentary material furnished by informants

ae

be

Pamphlets and similar documentary material furnished by informants
should have placed thereon informant's code name.

Informant should affix date he received material. If informant can-
not recall date of receipt, date he furnished material should be
affixed.

No additional markings of any kind, such as initials, date received,
permanent symbol number of informant, file numbers, indexing symbols,
etc., should be placed on documentary material.

Receipt of such material should be recorded on form FD-306 or on a
channelizing memorandum containing all applicable items. See section
107K for filing instructions,

H. SYMBOLS
r 1. Assigning numbers

a. All informants should be designated by permanent symbol number of

which Bureau must be advised. Once number assigned, it must not be
. subsequently reassigned to any other informant or source.

be. A symbol number designation should be afforded to all individuals
from the time any step (generally the opening of an informant or
source file) is taken to develop them as sources or informants.
Upon assigning a symbol number, Bureau should be immediately advised by
secure teletype of the symbol number, informant's true name, available
background information, and cover name, if assigned, for indexing purposes.

ce. Individuals to whom permanent symbols assigned are not to be advised
of such symbols. .

a. Cover name should be used by informant in signing his statements and
in communications between informant and field office. Advise Bureau
of cover name,

e. Prefix of symbol number consists of appropriate field office teletype
abbreviation. Suffix of symbol number will consist of letter "S" for
security informant; letters "PSI" for potential security informant;
letters "CS" for confidential source.

. 2. Although source may subsequently furnish information requiring change
in designation (e.g., from security to criminal or to extremist, etc.),
number previously assigned will remain same; however, suffix is to
be changed to appropriate letter or letters indicating this change
(NY 000-S to NY 000-C or to NY O000-E).

ge An asterisk should not be used to designate certain highly sensitive
informants or investigative techniques. Do not include asterisk

| in reporting information from such sources.
2. Communications - use of symbols

ae After Bureau is advised of permanent symbol, in subsequent communica-
tions true name of informant should not be set forth; use symbol number.

be In all communications after initial one, Bureau and field office

| @ file numbers for informant must be set forth.

c. In communications batween offices, follow same procedure,

| ad. Informants and sources entering another division

| 1) Active informants and sources entering another division on
temporary basis should be referred to in initial secure teletype

| to interested office by true name and symbol number if necessary
for other division to know identity. Such a teletype should
not be routed to a Resident Agency. Office receiving such
teletype should make appropriate index cards for "Informants
and Sources in Other Divisions" index. Subsequent letters
petween interested offices may then identify individual by symbol
number only.

(2) Individuals who leave division where they have been furnishing
information and do not plan to return should be immediately
discontinued, their symbol number, if any, should be canceled,
and their true name used in all administrative correspondence.

(3) If informant is transferred to another office and remains active,
his identity must still be protected. ,

ee In communications concerning potential security informant when a
symbol number is not used, name of potential security informant and
abbreviation "PSI" shall be useds eog., "John Doe, PSI."

f. Captions of communications concerning informants and sources should
contain a precise character designation to identify the organization
with which they are most closely associated or on which they are
most capable of furnishing information (i.e.,[Subversive]Matter +

Students for a Democratic Society or SM ~ SDS,[Subversive |Matter ~

Young Socialist Alliance or SM - YSA,[SubversiveJMatter -[Communist

Party, USAlor SM -[CPUSA, ]letc.). This facilitates routing at Bureau.

|

I. INDEXING .
True names and aliases of all informants, as well as cover name assigned,
shall be indexed in general office indices as any other name. Index cards
should show file number of informant, but such terms as "Informant" or
"Potential Security Informant" shall not appear.

8. Receipt of unemployment compensation

ae

At times informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs

and become eligible for unemployment compensation. Where un-
employment regulations require listing of all sources of income as
prerequisite for unemployment compensation and informants and/or
sources who are being paid by Bureau fail to comply, situation is
potentially embarrassing. Bureau cannot be placed in position of
condoning violation of state law on part of any informant or source.
Field office must determine from state unemployment compensation
officials effect of unemployment compensation laws on paid informants
and/or sources. Depending on local requirements, informants and
sources must be alerted accordingly.

When paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has knowledge
of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and submit
recommendations to Bureau on UACB basis. At same time, weigh seriously
possible need for informant to apply and accept unemployment compen-
sation to protect his security. Fellow members of subversive organi-
zation may be aware of his unemployment status and would expect him
to apply. Where state requires notification of Bureau payments to in-
formants that would necessitate disclosure of identity, discontinue
Bureau payments during period of unemployment compensation benefits.

willing to testify in open court or before administrative hearing boards.
Identity of all cases of security of Government employees type in which
informant has furnished information must be ascertained and Bureau advised
in compliance with section 19, volume ITI, of this manual.

Review informant's file to determine if correspondence between Bureau and
field relating to Department's interest in using informant as witness is
contained therein. In those cases in which Department has indicated de-
sire to consider informant when he becomes available, advise Bureau in
each such substantive case, except when it is obvious statute of limita-~
tions has run or case has been adjudicated. This exception does not apply
to security of Government employees cases. When above action is completed,
advise Bureau.

Statement shall also be made to effect that measures to control informants,
set out in item 7, below, have been considered and recommendations shall
be made when it appears such are warranted.

When services of informant are discontinued, maintain close contact with
him so that informant will look to Bureau for counsel prior to taking any
action against Bureau's best interests. Determine whether he has plans
for writing book, magazine or newspaper article, or otherwise publicizing
his activity. If so, impress him with desirability of coming to Bureau
for assistance and guidance. If informant insists on engaging in such
activities, Bureau will consider placing him in contact with reliable
publisher, but it must be made clear to informant that Bureau will not
sponsor or endorse any book or publication which he elects to write,

All payments to discontinued informants and confidential sources must be
made on strict c.o.d. basis. Obtain Bureau authority before making such
payments. Submit complete details as to information furnished by dis-
continued informant or source in past and what is to be expected of
informant or source in future.

Once informant is exposed in any manner whatsoever, do not carry him as

a concealed source in reports or memoranda. His true name is to be set
forth, together with descriptive data,

When office receives information concerning, or obtains information from,
an ex-informant, copies of memoranda prepared must be furnished to office
which originally handled informant so that file will be as complete as
possible.

When informant has been discontinued for cause, such as unreliability,

do not contact him in future for information. If he furnishes information
it should be accepted, but in setting out information in reports or com-
munications use individual's true name, together with appropriate descrip-
tion of his reliability.

in situations which may prove embarrassing to informant or Government.

Immediately after he testifies for first time, SAC should have serious talk

with informant in presence of Agent who handled informant. This interview

should bs conducted in field office and informant told that:

a. He will no longer be operated by Bureau

pb. Since he is public figure, he will probably be contacted by representa-
tives of press, radio, and television for interviews and appearances

c. He may be sought as witness by congressional committees, Immigration
and Naturalization Service, and state authorities

ga. In connection with such interviews and appearances, informant must
continue to be factual and truthful and must not build up or embellish
statements, for if he does so he will wind up in serious trouble

Make every effort to prevent discontinued informant from becoming involved ©

Advise Bureau results of such interview and comment on its possible effeo-
tiveness,

Be alert to possibilities of former informant being contacted by represen~
tatives of publicity media and as witness by congressional committees,

INS, and state authorities. SAC is responsible for knowing when former informant
is scheduled or is likely to appéar at hearing or make public appearance

of any kind. Prior thereto in each instance, former informant must be
contacted and instructions above reiterated by Agent who handled informant.
Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to truth and make certain

he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he will be sub-
jected to criticism, possible libel, slander, or other criminal actions.

If he inquires as to whether he should appear or testify or otherwise
cooperate with any public or private individual or agency, advise him he

must make that decision himself, but if he has appeared as Government

witness in case which has not been finally adjudicated and decides in
affirmative, he should contact USA for instructions, Advise Bureau of any
such situations and results of any interviews conducted.

When contacting Agent feels discontinued informant could cause embarrass~ r
ment to Bureau, make arrangements to have former informant come to field
office where he will be personally met by SAC. At that time, he should be
impressed with fact that his services were appreciated and were of consid-
erable assistance to security of country and remind him that he signed agree-
ment when he was active as informant to maintain his relation with Bureau

on confidential basis. SAC should stress necessity for informant to main-
tain this confidence.

When it is determined that informant or ex-informant furnished false
information while informant, promptly advise Bureau of complete facts.

Set forth your suggestion relative to wording to be used in describing
informant in future, such as: “informant of known unreliability"™ or
"informant who has furnished both reliable and unreliable information in
the past."

Bureau will advise which designation to use. Then proceed with review of
all data furnished by individual and label information from him accordingly.
All communications containing information from informant which have been
disseminated to Bureau, other Bureau offices, and to outside agencies

must be corrected.

Identify cases individually by title and character, together with dates

of communications containing information.

If information was used in reports, corrective letters should be crystal
clear and refer to specific report, page number, and change to be made.
Amended pages should not be prepared unless so instructed by Bureau in
accordance with part II, section 4, of Manual of Rules and Regulations.
Corrective action should be called to attention of other Bureau offices,
outside agencies, and Bureau by letter.

Instruct each interested Bureau office which has made further dissemina-
tion of information to follow instructions set forth above.

Set up control file regarding this corrective action, and upon completion
of same submit to Bureau final letter under informant's caption identifying
each case by title, character, Bureau file, where known, and date of com-
munication. This letter will be used to check all pertinent Bureau files
to see that necessary corrective action has been taken.

If necessary, other field offices which have received information from
informant should also be requested to submit summary letters showing what
corrections have been made.

ALL information from informant must be correctly labeled and great care
must be taken to see that this is done..

Occasionally, ex-informant through his speech, writings, or actions raises
a doubt as to his reliability subsequent to time he was informant. I+

is not necessary to go back and change evaluation of information attributed
to that individual in absence of definite indication that informant furnished
unreliable information while he was informant.

1. Security informant
Individual actively engaged in obtaining and furnishing current infor~—

of a subversive organization, such as the Communist Party; or be in
such a porition relative to a subversive organization, or espionage
activitic or intelligence activities in the U., S, on behalf of foreign
principe} that he is able to obtain and does provide current infor~

. Individual in 2 position to become active in a subversive organization
or eSpionage or intelligence activities in the U. 8. on behalf? of foreign
principal or can become closely associated therewith, and is making
affirmative effort through associations or contacts so that he.can be
- in a position actively to obtain and furnish current information to
Bureau. — :
3. Double agent i
A Specialized i-pe of security informant; a person who is cooperating
with, receivin: issignments from, and performing tasks for both 2 foreign
intelligence sclvice and the Bureau under the Bureau's guidance,
4, Confidential sou se
An individual who on a confidential basis furnishes information available
to him through his present position, Examples would be: bankers, telephone
company employees, American employees of foreign official establishments,
- employees of the United Nations Secretariat, and individuals who furnish
trash in connection with trash covers, These individuals make no
concerted effort on behalf of the Bureau but merely obtain and furnish
information readily available to them,

8B. SOURCES OF POTENTIAL SECURITY INFORMANTS
Informants should be developed on all organizations and individuals which
are inimical to the internal security. Experience has shown that potential
_ ‘informants may be obtained through elertness in the course of normal investi
gative activity. Live informant coverage depends for the most part upon
initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs, For assistance
in obtaining potential informants, the following is suggested:
, ; 1. Evaluation of
a. Complainants in security matters
bv. Persons interviewed in connection with security cases
c. Subjects of security investigations looking for indications of disaf-
fection, disgruntlement, loss of interest, inactivity, financial hard-—
ship, or other repudiation of party loyalty :
a, Bureau applicants as possible informants
e. Personal friends and contacts of Special Agents and other Bureau
employees
£. Sources of information, confidential sources, and contacts on con.
tinuous basis
Review of closed security files on individuals
Review offreservelindex
Ascertain possibilities of reactivating former confidential informants,
Survey possibilities of trash covers,
Review factionalism section of file on Communist Party, USA,
Consultation with present informants regarding indications of disaffection
on the part of Communist Party members, They, of course, should not be
informed as to the purpose of the inquiry.
8. Review of files on communist front organizations leoking for individuals
who have been associated with only one ur two fronts or who attended only
a few meetings of a front, Such individuals frequently are innocent of
communist propensities, yet they have a basis for cultivating the
acquaintanose of party members. The Progressive Party file also might
prove a fertile field.

[C. INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIAL[L SECURITY] INFORMANTS
- . When a decision made to consider a particular individual for informant pur

poses, background investigation must be conducted, This should consist of

the following:

1. Check of field office files for derogatory information, particularly

of a subversive nature
2. Discreet canvass of other informants to ascertain if the potential inform
ant is known to current informants of your office

3. Inquiries of discreet nature to obtain information concerning the individ

ualts personal history (date and place of birth, etc.), patriotism, health,
reliability, stability, integrity, general reputation, present and past
employments, and business connections. Background investigation must

definitely establish that the potential informant can be utilized without

any danger of future embarrassment due to instability or unreliability.
Securing background. information from the potential informant is not
sufficient; the background of the individual must be established by the
investigation,

4. Check of Local credit and arrest records, Obtain necessary data for
the completion of an FD-9 form which should be transmitted to the Tdenti-
fication Division to obtain the record, if any, of the informant,

Armed services record should be reviewed if the individual is a veteran,
Check draft status or status in the armed forces reserve.

Domestic, status and if any marital difficulties all details should be
obtained,

At times security informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs
with private industry due to strikes, economic conditions, or similar
circumstances, As a result they become eligible for unemployment
compensation. Where unemployment regulations require listing of all
sources of income as a prerequisite for obtaining unemployment
compensation and security informants and/or sources who at the time
are being paid by the Bureau for services rendered fail to comply,

the situation is potentially embarrassing, The Bureau cannot be
placed in the position of condoning a violation of the state law on
the part of any informant or source, Each field office must determine
from state unemployment compensation officials effect of unemployment
compensation laws on paid informants and/or sources, Depending on
local requirements, informants and sources must be alerted accordingly.
Whenever a paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has
knowledge of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and
submit observations and recommendations to Bureau. Unless advised

to the contrary by the Bureau, follow recommended action, Hach

office must assume the responsibility of guarding against informant's
accepting a Bureau payment thet would conflict with unemployment
compensation laws, At the same time, weigh seciously the possible
need for an informant to apply and accept unemployment compensation to

such activities, the Bureau will consider placing him in contact

with a reliable publisher, but it must be made clear to the inform—

ant that the Bureau will not sponsor or endorse any book or publi-~
cation which he elects to write. . . ;

ALL payments to discontinued security informants and confidential
sources must be made on a strict ¢.0.d. basis. Obtain Bureau author-
ity before making any such payments. In requesting Bureau authority

for payments of this type, submit complete details as to the infor-
mation furnished by the discontinued informant or source in the past

and what is to be expected of the informant or source in the future.
Once an informant is exposed in any manner whatsoever he is no longer

to be carried as a concealed source’ in reports or memoranda, His

true name is te be set forth, together with descriptive data.

When an office receives information concerning,or obtains information
from, an ex—informant, copies of memoranda prepared must be furnished

to the office which originally handled the informant so that the file

of the ex-informant will be as complete as possible,

When an informant has been discontinued for cause, such as unreliabil-
ity, he should not be contacted in the future for information, If

such an individual furnishes information it should be accepted, but in
setting out the information in reports or communications use the
individual's true name, together with an appropriate description of his
reliability.

Remove flash notice per section F, 6.

Repeated use of the same discontinued informant as a witness at security
trials and hearings should be avoided, Make an all-out effort to develop
witnesses who can furnish the same testimony as that expected of previously
used witnesses, Advise Bureau of any indication by Government attorneys
that an informant-witness who has previously testified will be called
upon for testimony at a subsequent trial or hearing and furnish your
comments concerning possibility of supplanting the testimony of individual

- involved. Submit communication under appropriate case character,

Every effort should be made to prevent a discontinued informant from

becoming involved in situations which may prove embarrassing to informant

or tke Government, Immediately after he testifies for the first time, a

serious talk should be had with informant by the SAC in the presence of

the «gent who handled the informant. This interview should be conducted

in the fisld office and informant told that:

@.o He will no longer be operated by the Bureau

b. Since he is a public figure, he will probably be contacted by
representatives of the press, radio, and television for interviews and
appearances

Co He may be sought as a witness by congressional committees, by the
immigration and Naturalization Service, and by state authorities

a. (Pirmly stress,) In connection with such interviews and appearances,
informant must continue to be factual and truthful and must not build
up or embellish the statements, for if he does so he will wind up in
serious trouble.

Advise Bureau results of such interview and comment on its possible
effectiveness.

Be alert to the possibilities of former informant being contacted by
representatives of publicity media and as a witness by congressional
committees, INS, and state authorities. It will be the SAC's respon-
sibility to know when a former informant is scheduled or is likely to
appear at a hearing or make a public appearance of any kind. Prior
thereto in each instance, former informant must be contacted and instruc—
tions above set forth reiterated by Agent who handled the informant.
Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to the truth and make
certain he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he

-will be subjected to harassment, criticism, possible libel, slander, or
other criminal actions. If he inquires as to whether he should appear
or testify or otherwise cooperate with any public or private individual )
or agency, advise him he must make that decision humself, but if he has
appeared as a Government witness in a case which has not been finally
adjudicated and decides in the affirmative, he should contact the USA
for instructions. Advise Bureau of any such situations and the results
of any interviews conducted,

{16. Whenever contacting Agent feels a discontinued informant could cause
embarrassment to the Bureau, errangements should be made to have the
former informant come to the field office where he will be personally met
by the SAC. At that time, he should be impressed with the fact that
his services were appreciated and were of considerable assistance to the
security of the country and remind him that he signed an agreement when
he was active as an informant to maintain his relation with the Bureau
on a confidential basis, The SAC should stress the necessity for the
informant to maintain this confidence. ]

PURNISHING OF INFORMANTS TO IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INS)

1. INS conducts investigations of alien communists as required under the
Immigration Act of 10-16-18, as amended. INS, in order to enforce this
statute, must obtain evidence to prove that certain aliens, due to ‘
their membership in certain groups, are undesirable and deportable or

- subject to denaturalization, |

2. Cooperate fully with INS in these cases and make efforts consistent -
with your own cases and interests to make available information and
witnesses where possible.

3. In this regard, if contacted by INS inquiring for informants and you
have a discontinued informant or one who would be of assistance to
INS and whose loss would not affect your work, furnish his identity to
the Bureau, together with your recommendation.

4, The Bureau will then review all of the facts concerning such informant

- and advise as to whether or not his identity may be disclosed to INS,

5S. Exercise care in recommending informants for disclosure to INS so that
you will not find yourself without proper coverage,

6, Before any informant is turned over to INS, obtain informant's permission,

S. CORRECTIVE ACTION ON FALSE INFORMATION
1. When it is determined that an informant or ex~informant furnished false
information while an informant, advise Bureau by airmail of complete
facts,

2. Set forth your suggestion relative to wording to be used in describing
the informant in future, such as: ‘informant of known unreliability"
or "informant who has furnished both reliable and unreliable information
in the past."

3. Bureau will advise which designation to use. Then proceed with a review
of all data furnished by the individual and label information from him
accordingly.

4.. All communications containing information from the informant which have
been disseminated to Bureau, other Bureau offices, and to outside agencies
must be corrected,

5. Identify the cases individually by title and character, together with
dates of communications containing the information,

6. If information was used in reports, corrective letters should be crystal
clear and refer to the specific report, page number, and change to be
made,

7. (Amended pages should not be prepared unless so instructed by the
Bureau in accordance with part ITI, section 4, of the Manual of Rules
and Regulations; corrective action should be called to the attention

°

Every effort should be made to guide security informants away from
situations requiring them to sign or fill out loyalty oaths or forms,
Informants should be cautioned to keep the contacting Agent fully
advised of any situation wherein they might be required to sign such a
form, .

Advise Bureau promptly of all such situations which cannot be avoided.
The Bureau will consider as a last resort advising another agency of
the informant's relationship with the Bureau, together with pertinent
facts concerning the informant's activity; however, such situations
must be kept to a iinimum in view of the obvious dangers to the
informant,

Each such situation must be carefully considered and Bureau is to be
advised as promptly as possible, together with en appropriate recom—
mendation for proposed action,

In no instance should you permit an informant to sign a loyalty oath
in the negative,

Q. DISCONTINUED INFORMANTS

2.

When the services of an informant are discontinued, mark the name card
“cancelled,” Destroy the symbol card. Wever destroy the name card.
Refile the name card in numerical order by symbol number in the symbol
number index, The symbol number shall not be subsequently reassigned

to another informant. If a discontinved informant or a discontinued
potential security informant or confidential source to whom a symbol
number was once assigned later is reactivated, remove his name card from
the symbol number index, mark it reactivated with appropriate date, note
thereon type of information he will now be furnishing, and refile it
alphabetically in the name card section of the index,

When a potential security informant or confidential source is discon—
tinued and a permanent symbol has not been assigned, destroy the alpha—
betical index card.

Advise the Bureau when a potential informent or informant is discontinued
and the reason therefor,

Advise the Bureau as to whether or not the informant is willing to testify
in open court or before administrative hearing boards. The identity of
all cases of security of Government employees type in which the informant
has furnished information must be ascertained and the Bureau advised in
compliance with section[69F, volume III, of this manual, ]

Review the informantts file to determine if any copies or summaries of
correspondence between the Bureau and the field relating to the Depart—
ment's interest in using the informant for testifying when he becomes
available as a witness are contained therein, In those cases in which it
is evident the Department has indicated a desire to consider the inform-
ant further when he becomes available, advise the Bureau in each such
substantive case, except in those cases in which it is obvious the statute
of limitations has run or the case has been adjudicated, This exception
does not apply to security of Government employees cases, When all

above action is completed, advise the Bureau,

4A statement shall also be made to the effect that the measures to con
trol informants, set out in 8 below, have been considered and recommenda
tions shell be made when it appears that such are warranted.

When the servives of an informant are discontinued, maintain close con-
tact with him so that the informant will look to the Bureau for advice
and counsel prior to taking any action which would be against the Bureau's
best interests, When an informant is discontinued, determine whether

he has plans for writing a book, magazine or newsp2per article, or other
wise publicizing his activity, If so, he should be impressed with the
desirability of coming to the Bureau for assistance and guidance rather
than making other arrangements. If an informant insists on engaging in

Every effort should be made to guide security informants away from
situations requiring them to sign or fill out loyalty oaths or forms.
Informants should be cautioned to keep the contacting Agent fully
advised of any situation wherein they might be required to sign such a
form.

Advise Bureau promptly of all such situations which cannot be avoided.
The Bureau will consider as a last resort advising another agency of
the informant's relationship with the Bureau, together with pertinent
facts concerning the informant's activity; however, such situations
must be kept to a minimum in view of the obvious dangers to the
informant.

Each such situation must be carefully considered and Bureau is to be
advised .as promptly es possible, together with an appropriate recom—
mendation for proposed action,

fn no instance should you permit an informant to sign a loyalty oath
in the negative, —

When-the services of an informant are discontinued, mark the name card
"cancelled." Destroy the symbol card. Never destroy the name card.
Refile the name card in numerical order by symbol number in the symbol
number index. If a discontinued informant or a discontinued potential
security informant. or confidential source to whom a symbol number was

once assigned later is reactivated, remove his name card from -the

symbol number index, mark it reactivated with appropriate date, note
thereon type of information he will now be furnishing, and refile it
alphabetically in the name card section of the index. .

When a potential security informant or confidential source is discon-
tinued and a permanent symbol has not been assigned, destroy the alpha-
betical index card, .

Advise the Bureau when a potential informant or informant is discontinued
and the reason therefor.

Advise the Bureau as to whether or not the informant is willing to testify
in open court or before administrative hearing boards. The identity of
all cases of security of Government employees type in which the informant
has furnished information must be ascertained and the Bureau advised in
compliance with section 69F, volume III, of this manual.

Review the informant's file to determine if any copies or summaries of
correspondence between the Bureau and the field relating to the Depart—
ment’s interest in using the informant for testifying when he becomes
available as a witness are contained therein, In those casesin which it
is evident the Department has indicated a desire to consider the inform-
ant further when he becomes available, advise the Bureau_in each such
substantive case, except in those cases in which it is obvious the statute
of limitations has run or the case has been adjudicated. This exception
does not apply to security of Government employees cases. When all

above action is completed, advise the Bureau.

A statement shall also be made to the effect that the measures to con- |
trol informants, set out in 8 below, have been considered and recommenda—

tions shall be made when it appears that such are warranted,

When the services of an informant are discontinued, maintain close con-
tact with him so that the informant will look to the Bureau for advice

and counsel prior to taking any action which would be against the Bureau's
best interests. When an informant is discontinued, determine whether

he has plans for writing a book, magazine or newspaper article, or other—
wise publicizing his activity. If so, he should be impressed with the
desirability of coming to the Bureau for assistance and guidance rather

‘than making other arrangements, If an informant insists on engaging in

When payment to an informant has been authorized for a definite

period of time, advise the Bureau at least two weeks in advance of the
expiration of the period for which payment has been authorized as to
whether the services of the informant are to be continued,

Every four months a letter of justification should be submitted to

the Bureau requesting continuation of payments. Follow form in
subsection 3b.

Letters requesting authority to continue (increase, decrease) payments
to an informant should be submitted in duplicate except that the

copy should consist only of the first page of the letter. When
payments as requested by the field are approved, the single—page

copy will be stamped "Approved" at the Bureau and returned. If the
recommendation is not approved, correspondence will be prepared

and transmitted to the field,

In order for this system to function properly, payment letters must

be explicit.

When payments are authorized by the Bureau, it is the personal responsi-—
bility of each SAC definitely to assure himself that full value is
being received.

Discontinuance of payments

If at any time it appears the information being produced by the
informant is not commensurate with the payments being made to him,

the payments should be immediately discontinued or edjusted accordingly
and the Bureau promptly advised.

Extraordinary expenses

In connection with the operation of paid informants, if any extraor—
dinary expenses are anticipated for which approval has not been given,
obtain specifio Bureau authority.

SECTION "or INFORMANTS AND an i SOURCES

4, Four-month eraluation of informants not paid on Bureau authority
If the informant is not being paia on Bureau authorization, a communi-~
cation must be transmitted to the Bureau every four months after the
date of designation containing the same information set out above in }
subsection 3b except those items concerning payments, Recommendation
[ of SAG regarding continuance of informant should also be set forth(UACB.]
In espionage and foreign nationality cases comment is necessary regarding
only those applicable items in subsection 3b.

._5.° Receipts .

When payments are made to anyone for information or assistance on security
matters, either on the SACis authority or on prior Bureau approval, receipts
must be obtained in every instance in which it is possible to do so.

a. Receipts shonld be of such a nature that they will be self-sufficient
so that, if it becomes necessary to introduce the receipts in evidence
during the course of a trial, the receipts will not relate to other
documents or files.

b. Receipts should clearly show:

, 1 Date on which payment was made

2 Period for which mede when informant is paid on a period basis
3 Total amount paid broken down into separate amounts for services
or expenses where these items are pertinent
{3} Name of Agent making payment
5 Signature of person receiving the money

ec, When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of expenses to the
Bureau, they should be stapled directly to the blue slip, leaving a
margin-of at least one inch to one and one~half inches at the top to
avoid contact with the Acco fastener punch, The staples should be 4
placed in such 2 manner that the date or other data appearing on the
receipt will not be mutilated and all information on the receipt can
be easily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Care must
be taken that receipts are of such a nature that they clearly show
payment of money and do not refer to any other documentary material
contained in Bufiles.

6. Income tax returns

a. iInformants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau
should be advised that such compensation must be reported as income
when filing an income tax return,

b. Since all informants are considered independent contractors, the inoome
they receive from the Bureau is self-employment income but, since the
Bureau does not consider their activity as the carrying on of a trade
or business, they may consider dispensing with the filing of a schedule
C as part of form 1040 if they so desire,

ec. The informant!s own personal situation, however, should be teken into
consideration as he may receive income from other sources as an inde~
pendent contractor which would require the deduction of self—employ~
ment tax, regardless of any Bureau income he may receive.

a. In considering the filing of a tax on self-employment income, such
a return is based upon net earnings from self-employment of $400
or more, If an informant receives less than $400 from the Bureau
and has no other self-employment income, this money in any event
is not subject to the self-employment tax. If the informant re-
ceives $4800 or more from outside employment subject to Social
Security tax, again the self-employment tax requirements do not
apply.

e. Bureau income should be set forth under item 10 on page one of the

- Federal income tax return, form 1040, as "Other Income" and explained . os
under schedule H(3) on page three of the return as income received
from other sources for personal services rendered through a private
enterprise or similar general term applicable to informent!s position
and station in life,

ad, All such material’ should be transmitted in the same manner as
statements furnished by informant.

e. Receipt of such material should be recorded on form FD-306 or on a
channelizing memorandum containing all applicable items set forth
on form FD~306. See section 107M for filing instructions.

1. Carefully handlé and create basis for acquisition

a. In double agent operations information requested by the principals
is frequently passed either to build up a double agent's stature
or as evidence of espionage activity.

b. Each case must be carefully evaluated to make certain that a net
gain accrues to the U. 8.

c, The information which is passed should be carefully handled and
appropriate explanations created for its acquisition by the double
agent to avoid his compromise.

2. kbocating information to pass

Wherever possible the field office handling the double agent should

Locate appropriate information to be passed; however, the Bureau can

assist in fulfilling requests for information in possession of

Government agencies,

3. Obtaining Bureau authority

Bureau authority must be obtained to pass any information in a double

agent operation except:

a. Newspaper articles

b. Magazine articles

Ge. Pamphlets, brochures, ete., prepared by a private company or corporation
for distribution or sale to the public. (This does not include highly
technical pamphlets, even if unelassified, which are prepared for
limited use by engineering staffs and not intended for release to the
public.)

4, Retention of copies of passed material

a, True copies shovld be retained by the office of origin of any documents
or material related to the national defense which is passed in double
agent operations,

b. Such'material should be appropriately identified by the double agent.

c. Bureau Agents should not place identifying data on such material but
should preserve any notes made by them in connection with the passage
of such material.

G@, Similar aotion should be taken with regard to any material which is
passed which is considered evidentiary although not clearly related
to the national defense.,

@e. It is not necessary to retain copies of build—up material obviously
not evidentiary in nature where there is assurance that copies can
be obtained at a Later date from the Government agency or private
concern having custody.

SYMBOLS
1. <Assigning numbers

a, All informants should be designated by a permanent symbol number of

©. Individuals to whom permanent symbols assigned are not to be advised

which the Bureau must be advised. [Once a symbol number is assigned,
it must not subsequently be reassigned to another informant. ]

b. Potential security informants and confidential sources whose identity
must be protected may be assigned permanent symbol numbers if they are
producing sufficient information to warrant the use of such designations,

of such symbols.
a. An additional cover name should be used by informant in signing his
- statements and in communications between the informant and the field
office.
e, Bureau should be advised of this cover name in addition to the per-
manent symbol,

2. Communications ~ use-of symbols
a, After Bureau is advised of the permanent symbol, in subsequent

communications true name of informant should not be set forth; use

symbol number,

be. In all communications after the initial letter, Bureau and field
office file numbers for informant must be set forth.

o. In communications between offices, the same procedure is to be

“followed,
d. Informants and sources entering another division
1) Active informants and sources entering another division on
temporary basis for Bureau business or for personal reasons
should be referred to in initial letter to interested office
by true name and symbol number if it is necessary for the other
division to know the identity of the informant. Office receiving
such letter should make appropriate index cards and place same
in "“Informants and Sources in Other Divisions" index. Subsequent
letters between interested offices may then identify individual
. by symbol number only.

{2) Individuals who leave the division where they have been furnishing
information and do not plan to return should be immediately
discontinued, their symbol number, if any, should be eancelled,
and their true name should be used in all administrative
correspondence,

(3) If an informant is transferred to another office and remains
active, his identity must still be protected,

e. In communications, the teletype abbreviation for the field office,
symbol, and letter suffix "S" shall be shown to identify the informant;
e.g., "NY 000-8

£. In communications concerning a potential security informant, the
name of the potential seourity informant and abbreviation "PSI"
shall be used; e.g., "John Doe, PST,"

g. Similarly, in communications relative to confidential sources, the

- abbreviation "GS should be used; e.g., “Richard Roe, CS,

h. When symbol numbers are assigned to potential security informants,
the designation should be as follows: “LA OO00—PSI,"

i. In communications relative to a confidential source having a permanent

- symbol number, the following should be used: "CS LA O000—S,"

Jj. In espionage and foreign nationality matters the caption of the
communication should show in addition a character and the country
designation (i.e., IS ~ R for Russia or IS — PO for Poland, etc.).
This facilitates routing the mail at the Bureau,

J, INDEXING

12, During initial stages of development and on occasion active informants
wIhRay raise a personal question concerning their own position if it
becomes known publicly that they are affiliated with a subversive
organization, In the event a potential informant or informant inquires
as to what can be done for him in such a case, he may be told that
his cooperation is a matter of record in the FBI and if some question
arises concerning his loyalty we will consider making the facts of his

. - (cooperation with the FBI known to his employer or to the responsible
individuals. It should be pointed out that this action may make it
impossible for him to continve on behalf of the FBI and the service
which he is performing for his country may be terminated, Before
taking steps to advise anyone of a potential informant!s or informant's
cooperation, prior Bureau authority must be obtained,

13. Specifically advise each potential informant that he is not and cannot
consider himself a Bureau employee or "undercover Agent" of the FBI,

In this regard, the seriousness of violating the impersonation statutes
must be impressed upon the informant. .

14, Advise potential informent that his cooperation must be strictly confi-
dential at all times and if he s? auld feel he cannot maintain this
confidence he should so advise, ‘here should be no doubt left in the
mind of the informant that his relationship must remain on a confidential
basis and if he violates the confidence he will be of no value and by
so doing the Bureau's investigative activity may be jeopardized. This
must be thoroughly impressed upon the informant before you accept him
as such, If the informant has a special problem which would require
his revealing his relationship to his wife, etc., this should be learned .
from him during the initial interview and a recommendation made to the
Bureau when the results of the interview are furnished, The special
circumstances will be taken into consideration by the Bureau,

15. If a prospective informant is connected in any manner with a labor .
union, inform him that the Bureau is not interested in employer
employee relationships as such and is only concerned with obtaining

: information on the infiltration in labor unions by subversive elements.

16. ‘If the potential informant is a student, teacher, or has any similar
relations with a school, college, or university, in his initial interview
and subsequent handling, be sure to follow current instructions concern
ing investigations on the campuses of colleges and universities.

17. ‘From the first interview with a potential informant through his develop—

- ment and until he is discontinued, extreme caution should be used at
all times to be certain he is not a plant.

18. When potential informant begins to furnish current information and
otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, assign permanent
Symbol number and advise Bureau, This communication must be personally
initialed by SAC or ASAC acting in his absence; individual's background
must also be thoroughly reviewed at this time, keeping in mind possibility
of using informant as a potential witness, If individual has any
weaknesses, set forth safeguards being followed to insure security and
to prevent embarrassment to Bureau, ]

A. DEFINITIONS
1. Security informant
Individual actively engaged in obtaining and furnishing current infor-
mation on security matters exclusively for Bureau and whose identity
must be protected. Such person should be a member or attend meetings
of a subversive organization, such as the Communist Party; or be in
- such a position relative to a subversive organization, or espionage
activities or intelligence activities in the U, 8. on behalf of foreign
principal that he is able to obtain and does provide current infor-
- mation of value.
2. Potential security informant
Individual in a position to become active in a subversive organizetion
or eSpionage or intelligence activities in the U. S. on behalf of foreign
principal or can become closely associated therewith, and is making
affirmative effort through associations or contacts &0 that he ean be
in a position actively to obtain and furnish current information to
Bureau.
3. Double agent 7 oO . : a us
A specialized type of security informant; a person who is cooperating
with, receiving assignments from, and performing tasks for both a foreign
intelligence service and the Bureau under the Bureau's guidance,
4, Confidential source
An individual who on a confidential basis furnishes information available
to him through his present position. Examples would be: bankers, telephone
company employees, American employees of foreign official establishments,
employees of the United Nations Secretariat, and individuals who furnish
trash in connection with trash covers, These individuals make no
concerted effort on behalf of the Bureau but merely obtain and furnish
information readily available to them,

B,. SOURCES OF POTENTIAL SECURITY INFORMANTS ~
Informants should be developed on a1] organizations and individuals which
are inimical to the internal security, Experience has shown that potential
informants may be obtained through alertness in the course of normal investi-
gative activity. Live informant coverage depends for the most part upon
initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs, For assistance
in obtaining potential informants, the following is suggested:
1. Evaluation of
a. Complainants in security matters
bd. Persons interviewed in connection with security cases
ce. Subjects of security investigations looking for indications of disaf-—
fection, disgruntlement, loss of interest, inactivity, financial hard-
ship, or other repudiation of party loyalty
a, Bureau applicants as possible informants
e. Personal friends and contacts of Special Agents and other Bureau
employees
f£. Sources of information, confidential sources, and contacts on con
tinuous basis
. Review of closed security files on individuals.
Review off reservelindex
Ascertain possibilities of reactivating former confidential informants,
Survey possibilities of trash covers.
Review factionalism section of file on Communist Party, USA.
. Consultation with present informants regarding indications of disaffection
on the part of Communist Party members. They, of course, should not be
"informed as to the purpose of the inquiry.
Review of files on communist front organizations looking for individuals
who have been associated with only one or two fronts or who attended only
a few meetings of a front, Such individuals frequently are innocent of
communist propensities, yet they have a basis for cultivating the
acquaintance of party members. The Progressive Party file also might
prove a fertile field.

trial plant having armed forces contracts, the communist frequently recants
when he is informed of the charges and is facing the possibility of dis—
missel or transfer to a nonrestricted position in the same plant. At
such a time, officers friendly to the Bureau sometimes suggest that
the person advise the Bureau of his past activities, _Be alert to take
advantage of such cooperation when offered,

14, Review of Communist-Party registration records to ascertain what individe
uals merely registered but never became active ,

15. Use of a reliable third party to make the contact with a possivie inform
ant when direct contact by an Agent is inadvisable. Request Bureau to
furnish the services of an individual who is available for such a contact,

16, Officials and employees of foreign establishments in the U. 5,

17, Employees of the United Nations Secretariat

18. Contacts (business, social, or otherwise) of foreign officials stationed
in the U. S.°

19,° Individuals who because of background, employment, or social status are
in a position of intelligence interest to a foreign principe i and who
will undertake intelligence assignments under the guidance of the
Bureau, (See deseco program, section 1LOSK,6h, volume IV, ov this manval,.)}

C. -INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIAL SECURITY IKFORMANTS
When a decision made to consider a particular individual for informant pur
poses, background investigation must be conducted. This should consist of
the following: . :
1. Chesok of field office files for derogatory information, particularly
of a subversive nature
[ 2. Discreet canvass of[logicallinformants to ascertain if the petential
informant is known to current informants of your office
3. Inquiries of discreet nature to obtain information concernixg the individ.
ual's personal history (date and place of birth, ete.), patriotism, health,
reliability, stability, integrity, general reputation, preseu3 and past
employments, and business connections, -Background investigetion must
definitely establish that the potential informant can be atilized without
any danger of future embarrassment due to instability or woecliability.
Securing background information from the potextial inform i2 not
sufficient; the background of the individual must be ostottnsied by the
investigation.
4. Gheek of local oredit and acrest records. Obtain necestary 425
the completion ‘of an FD-9 form which should be transmitted fo +
fication Division to obtain the record, if any, of the inufeoraant
dArmed services record should be revicwed if the individual is ea

f£ the informant receives from outside employment less than $4800,
all of which is subject to Social Security tax, the amount on which
he will have to report for Social Security tax purposes, if he com-
pletes a schedule C, is the difference between the amount received
from regular employment and $4800, .
If informant completes a schedule C, the nature of business of the
self-employed must be stated and informants should be instructed to
use as the nature of self-employment any applicable occupation with-
out revealing connection with the Bureau.

7. Stipulation re payments made to witnesses

In trials in which informants, former informants, or other persons who
were paid sums of money are prospective witnesses, the Bureau must
furnish the Department{[a set of Photostats of the original receipts
signed by the prospective witnesses. The original receipts and a set
of Photostats will be transmitted to the field office in whose
territory the trial will take place.] The office-handling prosecution
must determine from the[Government] attorney which individuals are
to be used as witnesses, Thereafter the office should furnish and/or
cause other appropriate offices to furnish to the Bureau the follow—
ing information:
1); The correct, full name
2 All aliases, code names, and symbol numbers
3 The first date of contact by your office
4 If first contact was prior to September, 1944, the names of all
SAs, SACs, and ASACs who contacted and may have made payments
(5). A tabulation of all payments, broken down as to the amount appli-
cable to services and the amount applicable to expenses,
[Although tabulations are not furnished to the Department, those
prepared by your office will be reconciled with Bureau records, ]
{6) A listing of any advances, refunds, and outstanding balances of
advances
7 The date of last contact by your office
8 Whether the individual has been contacted by any other office
Each individual and each item of information must be accounted. for,
If no contact was made with a particular individual, the Bureau must
be so advised,
Where an informant has previously been used and a tabulation of pay~
ments was prepared, information for items (5) through (8) need be given
only from the date of the last triel from which the individual was
used.
The above information should be submitted separate and apart from
correspondence setting forth derogatory information, and should be
addressed to the attention of the Administrative Division, Voucher
Unit, Interdivisional correspondence should be addressed to the
Bureau with copies designated for the interested offices,

8. Receipt of unemployment compensation

Be

rd

At times security informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs
with private industry due to strikes, economic conditions, or similer
circumstances, As a result they become eligible for unemployment
compensation, Where unemployment regulations require listing of all
sources of income as a prerequisite for obtaining unemployment
compensation and security informants and/or sources who at the time
are being paid by the Bureau for services rendered fail to comply,

the situation is potentially embarrassing, The Bureau cannot be
placed in the position of condoning a violation of the state law on
the part of any informant or source, Hach field office must determine
from state unemployment compensation officials effect of unemployment
compensation laws on paid informants and/or sources. Depending on
local requirements, informants and sources must be alerted accordingly,
Whenever a paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has
knowledge of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and
submit observations and recommendations to Bureau, Unless advised

to the contrary by the Bureau, follow recommended action, Bach

office must assume the responsibility of guarding against informantits
accepting a Bureau payment that would conflict with unemployment
compensation laws. At the seme time, weigh seriously the possible
need for an informant to apply and accept unemployment compensation to

organization may be aware of his unemployment status and would expect

then Bureau payments should be discontinued during the period they
receive unemployment compensation benefits,

9. Handling money and property received by double agents

a. Double agents must turn over to the Bureau any money or property
received from their principals in connection with the double agent
intelligence operation, This should be made olear to the double
agent at the inception of the operation (consider obtaining a signed
stbatement to this effect), Exceptions to this rule must be specifi~
cally approved by the Bureau, Entirely separate arrangements must
be made for payments to double agents.for services rendered to the
Buresu,

b, Any money or property received by a double agent from his principal

informant coverage that may be helpful in over-all evaluation, such as ‘
informants in other divisions vho are occasionally utilized and highly

placed informants who furnish area-wide, national, or international

information,

given to full security of all such personal contacts,

They should never be mailed to field office or resident agency.
Tf they cannot be obtained personally by contacting Agent, obtain

Confidential post office boxes should be obt. ea@ under fictitious
names and not under hames of persons who may liste” in post office

a logical conolusion,

If there is only partial name of individual or meager descriptive
data, and if there is sufficient data available to do so, file should
be opened and assigned to effect an identification and to take any
necessary action,

If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case,

3 tickler card should be prepared to.follow with the informant and
take other logical steps in an effort to obtain additional identifying
data concerning the individual, Tickler cards should be restricted

to information which would warrant investigation if an identity is
established, This will eliminate inconsequential items, but at the
same time definite steps must be taken to run out affirmative informa~

When payment to an informant has been authorized for a definite |
period of time, advise the Bureau at least two weeks in advance of the |
expiration of the period for which payment has been authorized as to
whether the services of the informant are to be continued,

Every four months a letter of justification should be submitted to

the Bureau requesting continuation of payments. Follow form in
subsection 3b.

Letters requesting authority to continue (increase, decrease) payments

to an informant should be submitted in duplicate except that the

copy should consist only of the first pege of the letter, When

payments as requested by the field are approved, the single—page

copy will be stamped "Approved" at the Bureau and returned. If the
recommendation is not approved, correspondence will be prepared

and transmitted to the field.

In order for this system to function properly, payment letters must

be expl*cit.

When payments are authorized by the Bursau, it is the personal responsi~
bility of each SAC definitely to assure himself that full value is

being received.

Discontinuance of payments

If at any time it appears the information being produced by the

informant is not commensurate with the payments being made to him,

the payments should be immediately discontinued or adjusted accordingly
and the Bureau promptly advised,

Extraordinary expenses

dinary expenses are anticipated for which approval hds not been given,
obtain specific Bureau authority.

5 Burean, they shovld be stapled directly to the blue slip, leaving a
H margin of at least one inch to one and one-half inches a% the top to

avoid contact with the Acco fastener punch. The staples should be
placed in such a manner that the date or other data appearing on the ,
receipt will not be mutilated and all information on the receipt can .
be easily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Cars must
be taken that receipts are of such a nature that they clear’- show
payment of money and do not refer to any other documentary . \erial
contained in Bufiles.

6. Income tax returns

a. iInformants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau
should be advised that such compensation must be reported as income
when filing an income tax return,

b. Since all informants are considered independent contractors, the income
they receive from the Bureau is self-employment income but, since the
Bureau does not consider their activity as the carrying on of a trade
or business, they may consider dispensing with the filing of a schedule
CG as part of form 1040 if they so desire.

ce, The informant‘s own personal situation, however, should be taken into
consideration as he may receive income from other sources as an inde—
pendent contractor which would require the deduction of self-employ—
ment tax, regardless of any Bureau income he may receive.

d, In considering the filing of a tax on self-employment income, such
a return is based upon net earnings from self-employment of $400
or more, If an informant receives less than $400 from the Bureau
and has no other self-employment income, this money in any erent -
is not subject to the self~employment tax, If the informant re-
ceives $4800 or more from outside employment subject to Social
Security tax, again the self~employment tax requirements do not .
apply.

e. Bureau income should be set forth under item 10 on page one of the .
Federal income tax return, form 1040, as "Other Income" and explained
under schedule H(3) on page three of the return as income received
from other souroes for personal services rendered through a private

enterprise or similar general term applicable to informant's position
and station in life.

Receipt of unemployment compensation

ae

At times security informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs
with private industry due to strikes, economic conditions, or similar
circumstances, As a result they become eligible for unemployment
compens"tion, Where unemployment regulations require listing of all
sources of income as a prerequisite for obtaining unemp} oyment
compensation and security informants and/or sources who at the time
are being paid by the Bureau for services rendered fail to comply,

the situation is potentially embarrassing, The Bureau cannot be
placed in the position of condoning a violation of the state law on
the part of any informant or source, Each field office must determine
from state unemployment compensation officials effect of unemployment
compensation laws on paid informants and/or sources, Depending on
local requirements, informants and sources must de alerted accordingly.
Whenever a paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has
knowledge of impending unemployment, @iscuss all facts with him ana
submit observations and recommendations to Bureau. Unless eadvised

to the contrary by the Bureau, follow recommended action, Fach

office must assume the responsibility of guarding against informantts
accepting a Bureau payment that would conflict with unemployment
compensation laws, At the same time, weigh seriously the possible

SECTION 107. BCURITY INFORMANTS AND CONT a SOURCES

(6) After informant authenticates his statement, contacting Agent
- should prepare a cover sheet, form FD~306, which should be stapled

to it and thereafter the statement should be handled as a
written one in accordance with instructions set out in 2, a,
{z0), and (11).

(7) Oral information furnished by informant purely of lead value
should be incorporated in an office memorandum by the Agent
and should not be initialed by the informant or exhibited to
him or treated as evidence.

3. Transmission of information

a.

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting Agent by -
informants whenever possible. Careful consideration should be

given to full security of all such personal contacts.

They should never be mailed to field office or resident agency,

If they cannot be obtained personally by contacting Agent, obbain
confidential post office boxes for their receipt.

Confidential post office boxes Should be obtained under Fictitious
names and not under names of persons who may be listed in post office
directory.

More than one informant may send statements to a specific post office
pox, but consideration should be given to obtaining post office boxes
in different post office stations to prevent suspicion on part of
post office employees.

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address of another
confidential post office box obtained under a fictitious namé in the
same manner as d.

Statements should be collected at post office boxes re;nularly,

but time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation
whereby same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office box
for any extended period of time.

When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest
to Bureau, he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting
Agent or office by most appropriate means of communication, Office
should take any necessary action without delay.

4, Handling of lead information

Be

o.

ALL lead information obtained from informant must be run out to

a logical conclusion,

If there is only partial name of individual or meager descriptive
data, and if there is sufficient data available to do so, file should
be opened and assigned to effect an identification and to take any
necessary action.

If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case,

a tickler card should »e prepared to follow with the informant and .
take other logical steps in an effort to obtain additional identifying
data concerning the individual. Pickler cards should be restricted

to information which would warrant investigatis .if an identity.is
established, This will eliminate inconsequentizl items, but at the
same-time definite steps must be taken to run out affirmative informa
tion. If no identification is made after reasonable effort, prepare
memorandum for informant's subfile. If an identification is made,

a file should be opened and any necessary action taken in connection
therewith,

Pamphlets and similar documentary materi.! furnished by informants
should have placed thereon the informant!s code name.

Informant should affix date he received the material. If informant.
cannot recall date of receipt, the date he furnished material should
be affixed.

No additional markings of any kind, such as initials, date received,

or oral, except in espionage or foreign nationality matters where a
subfile is necessary only in those instances involving possible
prosecution, The original of each statement, whether personally
written by the informant or furnished orally and reduced to writing
by contacting Agent, should be filed in this subfile. “Executed form
FD~306 or a channeliging memorandum containing all.applicable items
set forth on form FD-306 should be stapled to the original of each
such statement.
be Holes may be punched in originel statements of informants for secure
filing, but care must be taken to prevent obliteration of any portion
of statements or notations thereon.
5. Channelization
Excerpts from the informantts statement are to be included in the regular
investigative case report when information of value is submitted, Form
FD-306 may be used to disseminate this information to the case file in
lieu of a channelizing memorandum if desired. If so used, prepare copies
: of FPD-306 as needed for dissemination and staple one copy to each copy
of the informant's statement being channelized. Channelization should be
noted on original ID~306 and on all copies under "Remarks."

b. Individual who is paid on SAC authority should not be described in
correspondence as an informant or source who is being paid on a
"regular basis" or on "Bureau authorization,"

SECTION 107, Ouvz “TY INFORMANTS AND corr SOURCES

Four-month evaluation of informants not paid on Bureav authority

If the informant is nat being paid on Bureau authorization, 2a communi-

cation must be transmitted to the Bureau every four months after the

date of designation containing the same information set out above in

subsection 3b except those items concerning payments, Recommendation

of SAC regarding continuance of informant should alsa be set forth UACB,

In espionage and foreign nationelity cases comment is necessary regarding

only those applicable items in subsection 3b.

Receipts . . .

When payments are made to anyone for information or assistance on security

matters, either on the SACfs authority or on prior Bureau approval, receipts

must be obtained in every instance in which it is possible to do so. Ifa | .

receipt cannot be obtained for a particular payment, complete circumstances

should be set forth on the bluc slip at the time reimbursement is claimed,

a, Receipts shovld be of such a nature that they will be self-sufficient
so that, if it becomes necessary to introduce the receipts in evidence
during the course of a trial, the receipts will not relate to other
documents or files.

b. Receipts should clearly show:

1) Date on which payment was made

2) Period for which made when informant is paid on a period basis
3) Total amount paid broken down into separate amounts for services
or expenses where these items are pertinent

{3} Name of Agent making payment

. 5 Signature of person receiving the money

ec. Receipts are not to be witnessed by another Agent.

ad. If necessary to make corrections on the receipts, such correctic:
must be initialed by the informant and not by the Agent.

e, When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of expenses to the
Bureau, they should be stapled directly to the biue slip, leaving a
margin of at least one inch to one and one~ha?s inches at the top to
avoid contact with the Acco fastener punch, “ e staples should be
placed in such a manner that the date or othe: Gata appearing on the
receipt will not be mutilated and all information on the receipt can ~
be casily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Care must
be taken that receipts are of such a nature that they clearly show’
payment of money and do not refer to any other documentary material
contained in Bufiles. .

Income tax returns

a, Informants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau
should be -ivised that such compensation must be reported as income
when filing an income tax return. .

b. Since all informants are considered independent contractors,
they receive from the Bureau is self~employment income but, si; -
Bureau does not consider their activity as the carrying on of i ::
or business, they may consider dispensing with the filing of a sehedule
C as part of form 1040 if they so desire,

ec. The informant!s own personal situation, however. should be taken into
consideration.as he may receive income from'otl . sources as an inde~
pendent contractor which would require the deducvion of self-employ—
ment tax, regardless of any Bureau income he may receive,

ad, In considering the filing of a tax on self-employment income, such
a return is based upon cet earnings from self-employment of $400
or more, If an inform. ° receives less than $400 from the Bureau
and has no other self~—«- ;loyment income, this money in any event
is not subject to the “f-employment tax. If the informant re-—

o~

ceives $4800 or more froz outside employment subject + Social

Security tax, again the self-employment tax requireme’’. do not .

apply. . . ;
e. Bureau income should be set forth under item[S5]on pa “ne of the

Federal income tax return, form 1040, and explained rvfpart ”

schedule B,jof the return as income received from ot: sources or

personal services rendered through a private enterpriz: or simil sc
general term applicable to informant!s position and station in life.

1, General instructions re oral and written information

SECTION 107, ee INFORMANTS AND CONFIDE SOURCES

Instructions regarding preparation, submission, and handling of
information received from informants apply not only to s ecurity
informants but also to potential seourity informants, panel sources,
security confidential sources, and security sources of information.
Specific instructions and guidance must be given to informants
concerning preparation of statements containing their information.
They should be submitted as quickly as possible after a meeting

or activity.

Written statements should be submitted whenever possible, put if such
cannot be done information may be provided orally. In espionage and
foreign nationality matters written statements are usually necessary
only in those instances involving possible future prosecution, (In
the majority of cases diplomats or officials who are not subject to
prosecution are involved.)

Carefully scrutinize each, bearing in mind that if informant is called
upon to testify at a later date his statements will very likely be
introduced in court.

ALI information furnished by informants orally or in writing must be,
promptly reviewed, recorded, indexed, evaluated, channelized, and all
necessary action taken. Form FD-306 may be used in lieu of a chan-
nelizing memorandum if desired. If so used, prepare copies of FD-306
as needed for dissemination and staple one copy to each copy of the
informantis statement being channelized, Channelization should be
noted on original FD-306 and on all copies under "Remarks."

Prior to any prosecution or administrative hearing, advise the trial
attorney that informant not only furnished information concerning
instant case but also provided other statements not pertinent to case
at issue. The trial attorney will thus be prepared in the event
informant testifies on direct examination or cross~examination that

he furnished information in addition to his testimony,

See subsection M for instructions regarding filing informant statements.

2. Recording written and oral information

{ aa

fl NW 88321 Docld:32989529 Page 1546

Written by informant

1) May be in handwriting or hand printing of informant or typed,

2) Originel only shovld be submitted and informants should never
retain any copies or notes relating thereto. Continuously check
informants to see that they do not keep any notes or copies,

{3} Prepare on paper devoid of any Bureau markings or identification, —
Date when informant prepares statement should be placed at the

top of it.

(5) ALL information obtained by informants regarding each meeting
or each separate activity in which they engage should be sub—
mitted in one statement whether the information is of
evidentiary or intelligence value.

i” [9. Informant's activity in organizations]

Informants in organizations must be impressed with necessity of
carrying on normal activity, such as canvassing, sale, and uis—
tribution of literature, leaflets, eto,

When feasible, informants should be instructed te accept direction
from leaders; request instruction and interpretation of the organiza~
tionts precepts; request leaders to furnish source’ for study
purposes; and enter discussions, not quietly sit be sk as observers.
Changes in the organization's conduct, policy, or strategy shoutad

be reported on as they occur. Have informants give their opini 8
of the motivation behind such changes, but be certain o -nions
suggestions given are labeled as such,

as If a security informant is requested by the Communist Party, communists
being prosecutcd by the Government, or by other interested parties to
assist in the preparation of the defense in subversive~type cases or
receives assignment where such information is readily available,
informant should tactfully decline such assignments.

db. <Any such request received by informant should be reported immediately
to the contacting Agent and made a matter of record.

c. If the informant cannot avoid becoming involved, he should be instructed
not to report to the contacting Agent any information pertaining to
defense plans or strategy. . :

{13. Preparation for testifying

Contacing Agent must condition the informant to the fact that someday

the knowledge he possesses may be needed as eviderce in court to assist

the Government in combating the evil of communism. Psychologically
prepare the informant for the fact that he may at some future date be
called upon to render a still further contribution to his Government by
testifying to the information he has furnished on security matters.

Proper indoctrination of the informant is essential as the Bureau must

provide witresses whenever the Department initiates prosecutions in

EH, BUREAU POLICY

C {l. Developnent of militery personnel]
Do not develop informants among military personnel on ‘military reserva
tions, establishments, etc., unless specifically approved by the Bureau.

12, During initial stages of development and on occasion active informants
may raise a personal question concerning their own position if it
becomes known pablicly that they are affiliated with a subversive {
organization, In the event a potential informant or informant inquires
as to what can be done for him in such a case, he may be told that
his coopsration is a matter of record in the FBI and if some question
anises concerning his loyalty we will consider making the facts of his
cooperation with the PBI known to his employer or to the responsible
individuals. It should be pointed out that this action m-y make it
impossible for him to continue on behalf of the FBI and the service
which he is performing for his country may be terminated. Before
taking steps to advise anyone of a potential informent's or informant!s
cooperation, prior Bureau authority must be obtained.

13, Specifically advise each potential informant that he is not and cannot
consider himself a Bureau employee or “undercover Agent" of the FBI.
in this regard, the seriousness of violating the impersonation statutes
must be impressed upon the informant,

14, Advise potential informant that his coopsration must be strictly confi-

- dential at all times and if he should feel he cannot maintein this
confidence he should so advise, Where shovld be no doubt left in the
mind of the informant that his relationship must remain on 2 confidential
basis and if he violates the confidence he will .be of no value and *--

8o doing the Bureaufs investigative activity may be jeopardized. % °s
mSt be thoroughly impressed upon the informant before you aocept hu

as such, If the informant has a special problem which would require

his revealing his relationship to his wife, etc., this should be learned
from him during the initial interview and a recommendation made to the
Bureau when the results of the interview are furnished. ane Special
circumstances will be taken into consideration by the Burea

15. If a prospective informant is connected in any manner with a 2.”
unien, inform him that the Bureau is not interested in employe:
employee relationships as such and is only concerned with obtai:
information on the infiltration in labor unions by subversive ele. ws,

16. If the potential informant is a student, teacher, or has any Siniitar |
relations with a school, college,.or university, in his initial i: terview
and subsequent handling, be sure to follow current instructions concern
ing investigations on the campuses of colleges and universities,

17. From the first interview with a potential informant through his develop
ment and until he is discontinued, extreme caution should be used at
all times to be certain he is not a pi ut,

18. When potential informant begins to fu .ish'current information and
otherwise qualifies for designation a. informant, assign permanent
symbol number and advise Bureau, This communication must be personally
initialed by SAC or A° 0 acting in his absence; individual's background
must also be thorough - reviewed at this tit:', keeping in mind possibility
of using informant as .. potential witness, of individual has any
weaknesses, set forth safeguards being followed to insure security and
to prevent embarrassment to Bureau. J

[ [2, Contacts by designated Agents]

[ Contacts with an informant or potential informant should only be made dy

[ the Agent or Agents specifically designated[to contact him.]

[ No information should be divulged tola potential Jinformant[or an informant]
concerning any of the Bureau's investigative activity other then that

3, Transmission of information

Be

v,
c.

a.

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting Agent by
informants whenever possible, Careful consideration should be

giveu ty full security of all such personal contacts

Huey should never be mailed to field office or resident agency,

If they cannot be obtained personally by contacting Agent, obtain
confidential pos office boxes for their receipt,

Confidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious
names and not under names of persoas who may be Listed in post office
directory,

More than one informant may send statements to a specific post office
box, but consideration should be given to obtaining post office boxes
in different post office stations to prevent suspicion on part of
post office employees,

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address of another
confidential post office box obtained under a fictitious name in the
Same manner as 4a,

Statements should be collected.at post office boxes regularly,

but time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation
whereby same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office: box

Agent or office by most appropriate means of communication, Office
should take any necessary action without delay. .

a logical conclusion,

Tf there is only partial name of individual or meager dessriptir-
data, and if there is sufficient data available to do so, file s

be opened and assigned to effect an identification and to take ar
necessary action,

If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case,

a tickler card should be prepared to follow with the informant and
take other logical steps in an effort to obtain additional identifying
data concerning the individual, Tickler cards should be restricted

to information which would warrant investigation if an identity is
established, This will eliminate inconsequential items, but at the
same time definite steps must be taken to run out affirmative informa
tion, If no identification is made after reasonable effort, prepare
memorandum for informant's subfile. If an identification is made,

a file should be opened and any necessary action taken in connection
therewith.

5. Handling documentary material furnished by informants

Be

b.

LO7P ~ & SECTION 10AD szconrry INFORMANTS AND corrn@er: SOURCES

P, SHGNING OF LOYALTY OATHS, AFFIDAVITS, AND STATEMENTS

Every effort should be made to guide security informants away from
situations requiring them to sign or fill out loyalty oaths or forms.
Informants should be cautioned to keep the contacting Agent fully
advised of any situation wherein they might be required to sign such a
form,
Advise Bureau promptly of all such situations which cannot be avoided,
The Bureau will consider as a last resort advising another agency of
the informant's relationship with the Bureau, together with pertinent -
facts concerning the informant's activity; however, such situations
must be kept to a minimum in view of the obvious dangers to the
informant. .
Each such situation must be carefully considered and Bureau is to be
advised as promptly as possible, together with an appropriate recom—
mendation for proposed action.

6. In no instance should you permit an informant to sign a loyalty oath
in the negative.

Q@. DISCON?TINULD INFORMANTS

1. When the services of an informant are discontinued, mark the name card
"cancelled. Destroy the symbol card. Never destroy the name card.

2. Refile the name card in numerical order by symbol number in the symbol
number index, If a discontinued informant or a discontinued potential
security informant or confidential source to whom a symbol number was
once assigned later is reactivated, remove his name card from the
symbol number index; mark it reactivated with appropriate date, note
thereon type of information he will now be furnishing, and refile it
alphatetically in the name card section of the index.

3. When a potential security informant or confidential source is discon-
tinued and a permanent symbol has not been assigned, destroy the alpha—
petical index card. :

4, Advise the Bureaufof the date]when a potential informant or informant is
discontinued and the reason therefor.

5. Advise the Bureau as to whether or not the informant is willing to testify
in open court or before administrative hearing boards. The identity of
all cases of security of Government employees type in which the informant
has furnished information must be ascertained and the Bureau advised in
compliance with section 69F, volume III, of this manual .

6, Review the informant's file to determine if any copies or summaries of _
correspondence between the Bureau and the field relating to the Depart—
ment's interest in using the informant for testifying when he becomes
available as a witness are contained therein, In those casesin which it
is evident the Department has indicated a.desire to consider the infe~ -
ant further when he becomes available, ‘advise the Bureau in each suc’
substantive case, except in those cases in which it is obvious the s.
of limitations has run or the case has been adjudicated. This except:..
does not apply to security of Government employees cases. When all
above action is completed, advise the Bureau.

7. j.&A statement shall also be made to the effect that the measures to con-

.trol informants, set out in 8 below, have been considered and recommenda—
tions shall be made when it appears that such are warranted,

8. When the services of an informant are discontinued, maintain close con-

-tact with him so that the informant will look to the Bureau for advice

and counsel prior to taking any action which would be against the Bureau's
best interests. When an informant is discontinued, determine whether

he has plans for writing a book, magazine or newspaper article, or other-
wise publicizing his activity. If so, he should be impressed with the
desirability of coming to the Bureau for assistance and guidance rather
than making other arrangements. If an informant insists on engaging in

H. PASSING INFORMATION IN DOUBLE AGENT OPERATIONS
1, Carefully handle and create basis for acquisition
a2. In double agent operations information requested by the prixvicipals
is frequently passed either to build up a double agent's stature’
or a8 evidence of espionage activity.
b. Each case must be carefully evaluated to make certain that a net
gain accrues to the U. 8,
oe. The information which is passed should be carefully handled and
appropriate explanations created for its acquisition by the double
agent to avoid his compromise.
2. Locating information to pass
Wherever possible the field office handling the double agent should
locate appropriate information to be passed; however, the Bureau can
assist in fulfilling requests for information in possession of -
Government agencies,
3. Obtaining Bureau authority

4, Retention of copies of passed material
s a. True copies should be retained by the office of origin of any documents
% or material related to the national defense which is passed in double

agent operations.
b. Such material should be appropriately identified by the double agent.
c. Bureau Agents should not place identifying data on such material but
should preserve any notes made by them in connection with the passage
of such material.
ad. Similar action should be taken with regard to any material which is
passed which is considered evidentiary although not. -clearly related

SECTION 107: Drcoer TNPORMALTS AND comvrn Qear. SOURCES 107N

When an informant or former informant is initially considered as a
potentiel witness in a Boreau cace, Getermine whether he paid
Federal and state taxes on the income he received from the Bureau
for his services, Jf such taxes Lave not been paid, obtain all
pertinent details and promptly submit recommendations for handling
the situation.

In trials in which informants, former informants, or other persons who
were paid sums of money are prespecsive witnesses, the Burean must
furnish the Department a set of photostats of the original receipts
signed by the prospective witnesses. he original. receipts and a set
of photostats will be transmitted to the field cffice in whose 7
territory the trial will take plece. The office handling prosecution
must determine from the Government attorney which individuals are
to be used as witnesses. Thereafter the office should furnish and/or
cause other appropriate offices to furnish to the Bureau the follow
aug information:
l The correct, full name
2 AIL aliases, code names, and symbol numbers
3 The first date of contact by your office :
4 If first contact was prior to September, 1944, the names of all
SAs, SACs, and ASACs who contacted and may have made payments
(5) A tabulation of all payments, broken down as to the amount appli-
cable to services and. the amount applicable to expenses.
Although tabulations are not furnished to the Department, those
prepared by your office will be reconciled with Bureau records.
(6y A listing of any advances, refunds, and outstanding balances of
advances
{3} The date of last contact by your office

8 Whether the individual has been contacted by any other office
Each individual and each item of information must be accounted for.
Tf no contact wes made with a particular individual, the Bureau must
be so advised, . .

Where. an informant has previously been used and a tabulation of pay~
ments was prepared, information for items (5) through (8) need bé given
only from the date of the last trial from which the individual was
used,

The above information should be submitted separate and apart from
correspondence setting forth derogatory information, and should be
addressed to the attention of the Administrative Division, Voucher
Unit, Interdivisional correspondence should be addressed to the
Bureau with copies designated for the interested offices.

At times security informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs
with private industry due to strikes, economic conditions, or similar
circumstances. As a result they become eligible for unemployment
compensation, Where unemployment regulations require listing of all
sources of income as a prerequisite for obtaining unemployment
compensation and security informants and/or sources who at the time

are being paid by the Bureau for services rendered fail to comply,

the situation is potentially embarrassing, The Bureau cannot be-
placed in the position of condoning 2 violation of the state law on

the part of any informant or source, Each field office must determine
from state unemployment compensation officials effect of unemployment
compensation laws on paid informants and/or sources, Depending on
local requirements, informants ‘and sources must be alerted. accordingly.

b. Whenever a paid'informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has
knowledge of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and
submit observations and recommendations to Bureau. Unless advised
to the contrary by the Bureau, follow recommended action. Each
office must assume the responsibility of guarding against informant's
accepting a Bureau payment that would conflict with unemployment
compensation laws. At the same time, weigh seriously the possible
need for an informant to apply and accept unemployment compensation to
pratect his security. Fellow members of the pertinent subversive.
ov nigation may be aware of his unemployment status and would expect
hie to apply, Where a state requires notification of Bureau payments
tc informants that would necessitate disclosure of their identity,
then Bureau payments should be discontinued during the period they
receive unemployment compensation benefits,

9, Handling money and property received by double agents

@o Double agents must turn over to the Bureau any money or property
received from their principals in connection with the double agent
intelligence operation, This should be made clear to the double
agent at the inception of the operation (consider obtaining a signed
statement to this effect}, Exceptions to this rule must be specifi~
cally approved *; the Bureau, Entirely separate arrangements must
be made for payments to double agents for services rendered to the
Bureau. .

b. Any money or property received by a double agent from his principal
represents possible future evidence and the double agent should
execute a statement describing the money received by type of currency,
denomination, series. of issue, and serial number and appropriately
describing any other property received, This statement should be
signed by ‘the double agent's code name,

c, Money or ‘property received from double agents should be retained as
evidence in accordance with Section 3, part IT, Manual of Rules and
Regulations, .

ad. Bureau Agents receiving such money or property from double agents -
should make independent records for retention for purposes of refresh~
ing recolleetion in the event testimony is later necessary.

O. SEMTANNUAL LETTER
A semiannual letter should be submitted to the Bureau by each office as
follows

> 1. List the symbol numbers of all security informants and confidential

. . sources being paid under Bureau authority (not SAC authority) for

. services or expenses, If the confidential source has no symbol :
number, list his name. :

2. Also list the symbol numbers of all security informants not paid
under Bureau authority.

3., Set forth any comments. concerning the present status of the informant
coverage of the office, together with inf+ ‘nation concerning what actions
are being taken to improve the security ir ‘armant coverage.

4. As a separate section of the semiannual letter, list under "Headquarters
City" and each resident agency all subversive organizations’ broken down
into each division and unit thereof, such as clubs, committees, and
chapters,

Under each unit the approximate membership, together with the symbol
numbers and positions of security informants affording coverage, should-
be set out. Where no informant coverage exists or where coverage is
provided by informants or sources who are not members, such factors should
be shown relative to each unit.

Semiannual letters may include eny additional pertinent information re
informant coverage that may be helpful in over-all evaluation, such as
informants in-:other divisions who are occasionally utilized and highly
placed informants who furnish area~wide, national, or international
information.

4, Four-month evaluation of informants not paid on Bureau authority
If the informant ig not being paid on Burean authorization, a communi~
cation must be transmitted to the Bureau every four months after the
date of designation containing the same information set out above in
subsection 3b except those items concerning payments, Recommendation

-of SAG regarding continuance of informant should also be set forth UACB,
In espionage and foreign nationality cases’ comment is necessary regarding
only those applicable items in subsection 3b.

5. Receipts . . .
When payments are made to anyone for information or assistance on security
matters, either on the SAC*s authority or on prior Bureau approval, receipts
must be obtained in every instance in which it is possible to do so. If a
receipt cannot be obtained for a particular payment, complete circumstances
should be set forth on the blue slip at the time reimbursement is claimed.
a. Receipts should be of such a nature that they will be self-sufficient

so that, if it becomes necessary to introduce the receipts in evidence

during the course of a trial, the receipts will not relate to other

documents or files.
b. Receipts should clearly show:

1) Date on which payment was made

2} Period for which made when informant is paid on a period basis

3) Total amount paid broken down into separate amounts for services
or expenses where these items are pertinent

{3} Name of Agent making payment

5 Signature of person receiving the money

c. Receipts are not to be witnessed by another Agent.

ad. If necessary to make corrections on the receipts, such corrections
must be initialed by the informant and not by the Agent.

e. When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of expenses to the
Bureau, they should be stapled directly to the blue slip, leaving a
margin of at least one inch to one and one-half inches at the top to
avoid contact with the Acco fastener punch. The staples should be
placed in such a manner that the date or other data appearing on the
receipt will not be mutilated and all information on the receipt can
be easily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Care must
be taken that receipts are of such a nature that they clearly show
payment of money and do not refer to any other documentary material |
contained in Bufiles.

6. Income tax returns

a, Informants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau
should be advised that such compensation must be reported as income

_ when filing an income tax return,

{ (b.] Bureau income should be set forth under item 5 on: page one of the

f . Federal income tax return, form 1040, and explained under part V,[3,]
schedule B, of the return as income received from other sources for
personal services rendered through a private enterprise or similar

‘general term applicable to informant's position and station in life,

[o, If the informant is self-employed and files a schedule C as a self
employed individual, it may be possible to include his Bureau income
with his self-employed income from other sources without revealing
connection with the Bureau.

a. Effective 1-1~ 65, in those instances in which the informant cannot
report payments received from the Bureau for services without jeop-
ardizing his security as an informant, such payments will be subject
to a 20 per cent withholding tax. There are four categories of -
circumstances in which taxes will not be withheld. ‘axes are not to
be withheld from payments made (1) to other than security informants
and sources, (2) for reimbursement of expenses, (3) under SAC .
authority, or (4) to informants who have been able to report Bureau
income on their Federal tax returns without jeopardizing their security
or without challenge from the Internal Revenue Service, Bach office
has detailed instructions and exhibits concerning the procedure to
be Followed in the handling and control of money withheld, ]

DEFINITIONS

1. Security informant
Individual actively engaged ‘in obtaining and furnishing current infor~
macion on security matters exclusively for Bureau and whose identity
murt be protected. Such person should be a member or attend meetings
of a subversive organization, such as the Communist Party; or be in
such 2 position relative to a subversive organization, or espionage
activities or intelligence activities in the U. 8. on behalf of foreigu
principal that he is able to obtain and does provide current infor
mation of value,

2. Potential seourity informant

company employees, American employees of foreign official establishments,
{andjemployees of the United Nations Secretariat, These individuals make
no concerted effort on behalf of the Bureau but merely obtain and
furnish information readily available to them,

SOURCES OF POTENTIAL SECURITY INFORMANTS

Informants should be developed on all organizations and individuals ‘that

are inimical to the internal security, Experience has shown that potential
intormants may be obteined through alertness in the course of normal investi-
gative activity. Live informant coverage depends for the most part upon
initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs, For assistance

“4n obtaining potential informants, the following is suggested:

1, Evaluation of
a. Complainants in security matters
b. Persons interviewed in connection with security cases
c. Subjects of security investigations Looking for indications of disaf~
fection, disgruntlement, loss of interest, inactivity, finanolal hard-
ship, or other repudiation of party loyalty -
a, Bureav applicants as possible informants .~ .
e, Personal friends and contacts of Special Agents and other Bureau
employees
£. Sources of information, confidential sources, and contacts on con
tinuous basis
2, Review of closed security files on individuais
3, Review of reserve index
4, <Ascertain possibilities of reactivating former confidential informants,
5. [Deleted]

. 6, Review factionalism section of file-on Communis’ ‘Party, USA,

7, Consultation with present informants regarding indications of disaffection -
on the part of Communist Party members, They, of course, should not be 7
informed as to the purpose of the inquiry.

8, Review of files on communist front organizations looking for individuals
who have been associated with only one or two fronts or who attended only
a few meetings of a front, Such individuals frequently are innocent of
communist propensities, yet they have a basis for cultivating the
acquaintance of party members, -

Personnel directors in plants frequently are able to advise of members of
communist—dominated unions who retain their membership merely to hola

With regard to both 10 and 11 above, if possible, the official should
suggest to the potential informant that he contact the Bureau rather -

than have an Agent originate the contact.
After the Bureau has notified the armed forces of a communist in an indus—
trial plant having armed forces contracts, the communist frequently recants
when he is informed of the charges and is facing the possibility of dis—

SECTION 10 SECURITY INFORMANTS AND conrr@exa SOURCES

Four-menth evaluation of informants not paid on Bureau authority

If the informant is not being paid on Buresu authorization, a communi-
cation must be transmitted to the Bureau every four months after the
date of designation containing the seme information set out atove in
subsection 3b except those items concerning payments. Recommendation

of SAC regarding continuance of informant should also be set forth UACB.

“In espionage and foreign nationality cases comment is necessary regarding

only those applicable items in subsection 3b.

Receipts : :

When payments are made to anyone for information or assistance on security

matters, either on the SAC‘s authority or on prior Bureau approval, receipts

must be obtained in every instance in which it is possible to do so, If a

receipt cannot be obtained for a particular payment, complete circumstances

should be set forth on the blue slip at thd time reimbursement is claimed.

a. Receipts should be of such a nature that they will be self-sufficient
so that, if it becomes necessary to introduce the receipts in. evidence
during the course of a trial, the receipts will not relate to other
documents or files.

bd. Receipts should clearly show:

1) Date on which payment was made

2) Pericd for which made when informant is paid on a period basis
3) Total amount paid broken down into separate amounts for services
or expenses where these items are pertinent

{3} Name of Agent making payment

5 Signature of person receiving the money :

c. Receipts are not to be witnessed by another Agent.’

a. If necessary to make corrections on the receipts, such correctious
must be initialed by the informant and not by the Agent.

e. When transmitting receipts and itemized-statements of expenses to the
Bureau, they should be stapled directly, to the blue slip, leaving a
margin of at least one inch to one and one~half inches at the top to
avoid contact with the Acco fastener punch. The staples should be
placed in such a manner that the date or other data appearing on the
receipt will not be mutilated and all informetion on the receipt can
be easily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Care must
pe taken that receipts are of such a nature that they clearly show
payment of money and do not refer to any other documentary material
contained in Bufiles.

Income tax returns

a. Informants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau
should be advised that such compensation must be reported as income
when filing an income tax return. a .

b. Bureau income shovld be set forthf[on the]Federal income tax
return, form 1040, as income received from other sources for
personal services rendered through a private enterprise or
Similar general term applicable to informant's position and station
in Life.

oc. If the informant is self-employed and files a Schedule C as a self—
employed individual, it may be possible to include his Bureau income
with his self-employed income from other sources without revealing
connection with the Bureau.

d. Effective 1-1-65, in those instances in which the informant cannot
report payments received from the Bureau for services without jeop--
ardiging his security as an informant, such payments will be subject
to a 20 per cent withholding tax. There are four categories of -
circumstances in which taxes will not be withheld. Taxes are nat to
be withheld from payments made (1) to other.than security informants
and sources, (2) for reimbursement of expenses, (3) under SAC
authority, or (4) to informants who have been able to report Bureau
income on their Federal tax returns without jeopardizing their seourity
or without challexge from the Internal Revenue Service. Hach office
has detailed instructions and exhibits concerning the procedure to
be followed in the handling and control of money withheld,

SFCTIONWEO7. SECURITY INFORMAWTS [AND ._ ee SOURCES J

During initiel stages of development and on occasion active informants
may raise a personal question concerning their own position if it -
becomes known publicly that they are affiliated with a subversive rf
organization, In the event a potential informant or informant inquires

as to what can be done for him in such a case, he may. be told that .
his cooperation is a matter of record in the FBI and if some question
anises concerning his loyalty we will consider making the facts of his
cooperation with the FRI known to his employer or to the responsible
individuals. It should be pointed ont that this action may make it
impossible for him to continue on behalf of the FBI and the service

which he is performing for his country may be terminated. Before

taking steps to advise anyone of a potential informantts or informantts
cooperation, prior Bureau authority must be obtained.

Specifically advise, each potential informant that he is not and ¢atnot
consider himself a Bureau employee or “undersover Agent" of the FRI.

In this regard, the seriousness of violating the impersonation statutes
must be impressed upon the informant,

Advise potential informant that his cooperation must be strictly confi
dential at all times and if he should feel he cannot maintain this -
confidence he should so advise, There should be no doubt left in the-
mind of the informant that his relationship must remain on a confidential
basis and if he violates the confidence he will be of no value and by

80 doing the Bureau's investigative activity may be jeopardized. This

must be thoroughly impressed upon the informant before you accept him

as such. If the informant has a special problem which would require

his revealing his relationship to his wife, etc,, this should be learn.d
from him during the initial interview’ and 2 recommendation made to %r
Bureau when the results of the interview are furnished, The special
ciroumstances will be taken into consideration by the Bureau,

If a prospective informant is connected in any manner with a labor
union, inform him that the Bureau is not interested in employer~
employee relationships as such and is only concerned with obtaining

-information on the infiltration in labor unions by subversive elements,

If the potential informant is a student, teacher, or has any similar
relations with a school, college, or university, in his initial interview
and subsequent handling, be sure to follow current instructions concern.
ing investigations on the campuses of collegés and universities.

From the first interview with a potential informant through his develop
ment and until he is discontinued, extreme caution should be used at

all times to be certain he is not a plant.

When potential informant begins to furnish current information and
otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, assign permanent

symbol number and advise Bureau, This communication must be personally
initialed by SAC or ASAC acting in his absence; individual's background
must also be thoroughly reviewed at this time, keeping in mind possibility
of using informant as a potential witness. If individual has any
weaknesses, set forth safeguards being followed to insure security and

to prevent embarrassment to Bureau.]

B. SOURCES OF POTENTIAL SECURITY INFORMANTS

Informants should be developed on ail organizations and individuals that

are irimical to the internal security. Experience has shown that potential

inform nts may be obtained through alertness in the course of normal investi-

{ gative activity. hive informant coverage depends for the most part upon
initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs. For assistance

in obteining potential informants, the following is suggested: .

1. Evaluation of
a. Complainants in security matters

-b. Persons interviewed in connection with security cases

c. Subjects of security investigations looking for indications of disaf~
fection, disgruntlement, loss of interest, inactivity, financial hard~
ship, or other repudiation of party loyalty

d. Bureau applicants as possible informants

e. Personal friends and contacts of Special Agents and other Bureau
employees

f. Sources of information, confidential sources, and contacts on con
tinuous basis

2. Review of closed security files on individuals

3. Review of reserve index

i 4. Ascertain possibilities of reactivating former confidential informants,
. “5. Deleted

6. Review factionalism section of file on Communist Party, USA,

7. Consultation with present informants regarding indications of disaffection
on the part of Communist Party members. They, of course, should not be
informed as to the purpose of the inquiry.

8. Review of files on communist front organizations Looking for individuals
who have been associated with only one or two fronts or who attended: only

. a few meetings of a front. Such individuals frequently are innocent of
communist propensities, yet they have a basis for cultivating the
acquaintance of party members,

informants may be obtained through alertness in the course of normal i esti-

gative activity. Live informant coverage depends for the most part upon
initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs, For assistance
in obtaining potential informants, the following is suggested: _
1. Evaluation of
a. Complainants in security matters
b. Persons interviewed in connection with security cases
c. Subjects of security investigations looking for indications of disaf—
fection, disgruntlement, loss of interest, inactivity, financial hard-
ship, or other repudiation of party loyalty

a. Bureau applicants as possible informants

e, Personal friends and contacts of Special Agents and other Bureaw
employees

£. Sources of information, confidential sources, and contaets on con—
tinuous basis

2. Review of closed security files on individuals

3. Review of reserve index

4. Ascertain possibilities of reactivating former confidential informants.

5. Deleted

6. Review factionalism section of file on Communist Party, USA,

7. Consultation with present informants regarding indications of disaffection
on the part of Communist Party members, They, of course, should not de

8, Review of files on communist front organizations looking for individuals
who have been associated with only one or two fronts or who attended only

{C. [INTERVIEWS WITH AND DEVELOPMENT OF BACKGROUND ON INDIVIDUALS BEING

CONSIDERED FOR INFORMANT PURPOSHS]

When a decision is made to consider a particular individual for informant

purposes, background investigation must be conducted. [Extensive background

investigation should not be conducted, hewever, until the individual has

been interviewed and it has been determined he is willing to assist the

Bureau. Obtain prior Bureau authority te interview whenever the restrictions

imposed in section 87D, item 6b, (7), volume IIT, and section 105K, item 6b,

(10), volume IV, relative to interviews apply. Background investigation

shouldjconsist of the following:

1. Check of field office files for derogatory information

2. Discreet canvass of Logical informants to ascertain if the[individual]
is known to[{them]- :

3. Inquiries of discreet nature to obtain information coneerning the individ~
ual's personal history (date and place of birth, etc.), patriotism,
health, reliability, stability, integrity, general reputation, present and
past employments, and business connections. Background investigation must

[ definitely establish that the[individuallean be utilized without any
danger of future embarrassment due to instability or unreliability.
Securing background information from the[individual ]is not sufficient;

[his]background must be established br the investigation, [including discreet
inquiries among persons who are personally acquainted with him.J

4. Check of local credit and arrest records. Obtain necessary data for
the completion of an FD-9 form which should be transmitted to the Identi-

[ fication Division to obtainlanyjrecord [he may have.]. - :

5 Armed services record should be reviewed if the individual is a veteran.

6. Check draft status or status in the ermed forces reserve.

Q. oDIs

Every effort should be made to guide security informants away from
situations requiring them to sign or f£i11 out loyalty oaths or forms.
informants shoul¢ be cautioned to keep the contacting Agent fully
advised of any situation wherein they might be required to sign such a
form,

Advise Bureau promptly of all such situations which cannot be avoided,
The Bureau will consider as a last resort advising another agency of
the informant’s relationship with the Bureau, together with pertinent
facts concerning the informant's activity; however, such situations
must be kept to a minimum in view of the obvious dangers to the
informant. Lo

Eash such situation must be carefully considered and Bureaux is to be
advised as promptly as possible, together with an appropriate recom~
mondation- for proposed action.

In no instance should you permit an informant to sign a loyalty oath
in the negative. :

SONTINUSD INFORMANTS

When the sexvices of an informant rre discontinued, mark the name card
“cancelled,” Destroy the symbol c--d. Wever destroy the name card.
Refile the name card in numerical o.der by symbol number in the symbol
number index, If a discontinued informant or a discontinued potential
security informant or confidential source to whom a symbol number was
once assigred later is reactivated, remove his name card from the

symbol. number index; mark it reactivated with appropriate date, note
thereon type of information he will now be furnishing, and refile it
alphabetically in the name card section of the index.

When a potential security informant or confidential source is discon—
tinued and a permanent symbol has not been assigned, destroy the alpha~
betical index card.

Advise the Bureauf[of the date]Jwhen 2 potential informant or informant is
discontinued and the reason- therefor.

Advise the Bureau as to whether or not the informant is willing to testify

_in open court or before administrative hearing boards. The identity of

all cases of security of Government employees type in which the informant
has furnished informaticn must be ascertained and the Bureau advised in
compliance with section 69F, volume IIT, of this manual.

Review the informant's file to determine if any copies or summaries of
correspondence between the Bureau and the field relating to the Depart~ ~
mentts interest in using the informant for testifying when he becomes

available as a witness are contained therein. In those casesin which it

is evident the Department has indicated a desire to consider the inform—
ant further when he becomes available, advise the Bureau in each such .
substantive case, except in those cases in which it is obvious the statute
of limitations has run or the case has been adjudicated, This exception
does not apply to sec* ity of Government employees cases, When all

above action is compi.:* 7d, advise the Bureau. . i

A statement shall also be made to the effect that the measures to con-
trol informants, set out in 8 below, have been considered and recommenda—
tions shall be made when it appears that such are warranted.

When the services of an informant are discontinued, maintain close con—
tact with him so that the inforuant will look to the Bureau for advice

and counsel prior to taking any action which would be 2gainst’ the Bureau's
best interests; When an informant is discontinued, determine whether

he has plans for writing a book, magazine or newspaper article, or ether—
wise publicizing his activity. If so, he should be impressed with the-
desirability of coming to the Bureau for assistance and guidance rather
than making other arrangements, If an informant insists on engaging in

INTERVIEWS WLTH AND DEVELOPMEN? OF BACKGROUND oN INDIV< DUALS BEING
CONSIDERED FOR INFORMANT PURPOSES : -
When a decision is made to consider a particular indi: ual for informant
purposes, background investigation must be conducted. “xtensive background
investigation should not, be conducted, however, until ihe individual has
been interviewed and it has been determined he is willing to assist the .
Bureau. Obtain prior Bureau authority to interview whenever the restrictians
imposed in section 87D, item 6b, (7), volume III, and section 105K, item 6b,
[(9),]lvolume IV, relative to interviews apply. Background investigation
should consist of the follcw’ag: :
1. Check of field office-fiz.es. for derogatory information . -
2. Discreet canvass of Logical informants to ascertain if the individual -
is known to them
3. Inquiries of discreet nature to obtain information concerning the individ-— .
ual's personal history (date and place of birth, etc.), patriotism,
health, reliability, stability, .integritiy, general reputation, present and
past employments, and business connect: .s. Background investigation must
definitely establish that the individual can be utilized without any. /
danger of future embarrassment due to instability or unreliability.
Securing background information from the individual is not sufficient;
his background must be established by the investigation, including discreet
inquiries among persons who are personally acquainted with him.
4. -Check of Local credit and arrest records. Obtain nec.-.sary data for
the completion of an FD-9 form which shonld be transi Sea to the Td@enti-
fication Division to obtain any record he may have.
5. Armed services record should be reviewed if the individual is a veteran. .
6. Check draft status or status in the armed’forces reserve. .

raises a doubt as to his reliability subsequent to the time he was an
informant. It is not necessary to g6 back and change the evaluation of

. the information attributed to that individual in the absence of a

definite indication that the informant furnished unreliable information
to the Bureau while he was an informant.

receipt cannot be obtained for a particular payment, complete circumstances

should be set forta on the blue slin at the time reimbursenent is claimed.

e. When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of expenses to the-
Bureau, they shovld be stapled directly to the bine slip, leaving a
margin of at least one inch to one and one-half inches at the top to
avoid contact v'th the Aeco fastener punch, The staples should be
placed in such . manner that the ¢. 6 or other data appearing on the
receipt will ne: be mutilated and all information on the receipt can
be easily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Care must

Do not submit on a UACR basis. Include a physical description.

After designation as a Bureau-approved potential security informant, the

Following matters should be made clear to him: -

a. His assistance is strictly voluntary and he is to understand that there

is no coercion or intimidation involved.

He is not and cannot.consider himself a Bureau employee. or "undercover

Agent" of the FBI. In this regard, the seriousness of violating the

impersonation statutes must be impressed upon him. .

G. His cooperation must be strictly cortidential at all times and if he
should feel he cannot maintain +t)‘ sonfidence, he should so advise.
There.should be no doub} left in -..> mind of the informant that Kis
relationship must remain on a con.:3ential basis and if he violates the
confidence he will be of no value ard by so doing the Bureau's investiga—
tive activity may be jeopardized. If he has a special problem which weuld
require revealing his assistance to his wife or other pertinent indiv:
this should be ascertained and an appropriate recommendation made to =
Bureau. The special circumstances will be taken into consideration b,
Buréau and you will be advised accordingly.

a. If the potential informant is connected in any manner with a labor union,
inform him that the Bureau is not interested in employer—er.uloyee
relationships as such and is only concerned with obteining “nformation
on the infiltration of labor unions by subversive elemen*” .

e. If the potential informant is a studer, teacher, or has - similar
relations with a schodl, college, or «.lversity, in the is..lal interview
and subsequent handling, be sure to follow current instructions con
cerning investigations on the campuses o. colleges and universities,*

[3,1] Do not interview female potentials in their 1 homes or apartments unless

' necessary and all such interviews in their re.idences should be conducted

by two Agents after specific approval of the saperior in the field

office responsible for development of informants. This instruction is

not applicable where active investigation has established that the

potential informant is of good character, there is no indication of

affiliation with subversive groups,.and there will be no embarrassmen?

During initial steges of development a: on occasion active informants
mey veise ¢ personal question concerning their own position if it

as to what can be done for him in such a case, %.v may be told that

his cooperation is a matter of record in the F “ and if some question
arises concerning his loyalty we will considex °:king the facts of his -

inpossible for him to continue on bebalf of the FBI and the service
which he is pexforming for Lis country may be terminated. Before

taking steps to advise anyone of a potential informant's or informant's
cooperation, prior Bureau authority must be obtained,

From the first interview with a potential informant through his develop—
ment and until he is discontinued, extreme caution should be uzed at

all times to be certain he is not a plant.

When potential informant begins to furnish current information and
otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, assign permanent

symbol number and advise Bureau. This communicati«~ must be personally

BUREAU POLICY :
1. Development of military perscanel
Do not develop informants among military personnel on military reserva—

during the course of a trial, the receipts will not relate to other
documents or files.
b. Receipts should clearly show: . "
. 1) Date on which payment was made . Sg
2) Period for which made when informant is paid on a perioa basis
3} Potal amount paid broken down into separate amounts for services
or expenses where these items are pertinent . :
3} Name of Agent making payment . re
5 Signature of person receiving the money .

ce. Receipts are not to be witnessed by another Agent. .- .

ad. If necessary to make corrections on the receipts, such corrections
must be initialed by the informant and not by the Agent.

e. When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of -expenses to the
Bureau, they should be stapled directly to the blue slip, leaving a
margin of at least one inch toe one and one~half inches at the top to
avoid contact with the Acco fastener punch, The staples should be
placed in such a manner that the date or other data appearing on the
receipt will not be mutilated and all information on the receipt can
be easily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Care must
be taken that receipts are of such a nature that they clearly show
payment of money and do not refer to any other documentary material
contained in Bufiles,.

6. Income tax returns

a. Informants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau
Should be advised that such compensation must be reported as income
when filing an income tax return.

b. Bureau income should be set forth on the-Federal income tax
return, form 1040, as income received from other sources for
personal services rendered through a private enterprise or
similar general term applicable to informant's position and station
in life.

c. If the informant is self~employed and files a schedule C as a self-
employed individual, it may be possible to include his Bureau income
with his self-employed income from other sources without revealing
connection with the Bureau.

ad. Effective 1-1-65, in those instances in which the informant cannot
report payments received from the Bureau for services without jeop-
ardiging his security as an informant, such payments will be subject
to 2 20 per cent withholding tax. There are four categories of
circumstances in which taxes will not be withheld. Taxes are not to
be withheld from payments made (1) to other than security informants
and sources, (2) for reimbursement of expenses, (3) under SAC
authority, or (4) to informants who have been able to report Bureau
income on their Federal tax returns without jeopardizing their security
or without challenge from the Internal Revenue Service. Each office
has detailed instructions and exhibits concerning the procedure to
be followed in the handling and control of money withheld.

Instructions regarding preparation, submission, and handling of
information received from informants apply not only to s ecurity
informants but also to potential seourity informants, panel sources,
security confidential sources, andj security sources of information.
Specific instructions and guidance must be given to informants
concerning preparation of statements containing their information,

They should be submitted as quickly as possible after a meeting

or activity. .
Written statements should be submitted whenever possible, but if such
cannot be done information may be provided orally, In espionage and .
foreign nationality matters written statements are usually necessary
only in those instances involving possible future prosecution. (In
the majority of cases diplomats or officials who are not subject to
prosecution are involved.)

Carefully scrutinize each, bearing in mind that if informant is called
upon to testify at a later date his statements will very likely be
introduced in court,

All information furnished by informants orally or in writing must be
promptly reviewed, recorded, indexed, evaluated, channelized, and all
necessary action taken, Form FD-~306 may be used in lieu of a chan~
nelizing memorandum if desired. If so used, prepare copies of FD-306
as needed for channelization and staple one copy to each copy of in-
formant's statement being channelized. Channelization should be noted
on original FD-306 and on all copies. [In those instances in which in-
formant's statement contains references to a large number of individuais
and/or organizations, and statement exceeds two pages in length, con-
sideration should be given to channelizing to a substantive case file
only those portions of statement which apply te particular individual
or organization, Of course, entire informant's statement should be
filed in informant's subfile. This procedure should save filing space,
time of reviewing Piles, and should be employed unless a logical rea-
son dictates otherwise.]

Prior to any prosecution or administrative hearing, advise trial abtor-
ney that informant not only furnished information concerning instant
case but also provided other statements not pertinent to case at issue.-

_ Trial attorney will thus be prepared in event informant testifies on

direct. examination or cross-examination that he furnished information
in addition to his testmony.
See subsection M for instructions regarding filing informant statements.

2. Recording written and oral information

Written by informant .

{3 May be in handwriting or hand printing of informant’ or typed.

2 Original only should be submitted and informants should never
retain any copies or notes relating thereto. Gontinuously check
informants to see that they do not keep any notes or copies.

(3 Prepare on paper devoid of any Bureau markings or identification.
Date when informant prepares statement should be placed at the

top of it.

(5) ALL information obtained by informants regarding each meeting —
or each separate activity in which they engage should be sub-
mitted in one statement whether the information is of
evidentiary or intelligence value.

munication. This letter will be used to check all pertinent Bureau files

to see that necessary corrective action has been taken.

If necessary, other field offices which have received information from
informant should also be requested to submit summary letters showing what |
corrections have been made.

AUNEH

Receipt of unemployment compensation

At times informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs

and become eligible for unemployment compensation. Where un-
employment regulations require listing of all sources of income as
prerequisite for unemployment compensation and informants and/or
sources who are being paid by Bureau fail to comply, situation is
potentially embarrassing. Bureau cannot be placed in position of
condoning violation of state law on part of any informant or source.
Field office must determine from state unemployment compensation
officials effect of unemployment compensation laws on paid informants
and/or sources. Depending on local requirements, informants and
sources must be alerted accordingly.

When paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has knowledge
of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and submit
recommendations to Bureau on UACB basis. At same time, weigh seriously
possible need for informant to apply and accept unemployment compen-
sation to protect his security. Fellow members of subversive organi-
zation may be aware of his unemployment status and would expect him
to apply. Where state requires notification of Bureau payments to in-
formants that would necessitate disclosure of identity, discontinue
Bureau payments during period of unemployment compensation benefits.

M. ANNUAL LETTER
1. Submit annual letter to Bureau including following:

Symbol numbérs of all informants and confidential sources being paid
under Bureau authority (not SAC authority) for services or expenses.

SIGNING OF LOYALTY OATHS, AFFIDAVITS, AND STATEMENTS : :
1. Make every effort to guide informants away from situations requiring them
- to sign or fill out loyalty oaths or forms.

2. Informants should be cautioned to keep contacting Agent fully advised of
any situation wherein they might be required to sign such a form. Advise
Bureau promptly of all such situations which cannot be avoided.

3. Bureau will consider as last resort advising another agency of informant's
relationship with Bureau, together with pertinent facts concerning infor-

source to whom symbol number was once assigned later is reactivated,

remove name card from symbol number index, mark it reactivated with ap-
propriate date, note type of information he will now be furnishing, and
refile it alphabetically in name card section of index.

When potential informant or confidential source is discontinued and
permanent symbol has not been assigned, destroy alphabetical index card.
Advise Bureau of date when potential informant or informant is dis¢ontinuéd
and reason therefor. Advise Bureau as to whether or not informant is
willing to testify in open court or before administrative hearing boards.
Identity of all cases of security of Government employees types in which
informant has furnished information must be ascertained and Bureau advised
in compliance with section 19, volume II, of this manual,

Review informant's file to determine if correspondence between Bureau and
field relating to Department's interest in using informant as witness is
contained therein. In those cases in which Department has indicated de-
sire to consider informant when he becomes available, advise Bureau in
each such substantive case, except when it is obvious statute of limita~
tions has run or case has been adjudicated. This exception does not apply
to security of Government employees cases, “When above action is completed,
advise Bureau.

Statement shall also be made to effect that measures to control informants ,

“set out in item 7, below, have been considered and recommendations shall

be made when it appears such are warranted.
When services of informant are discontinued, maintain close contact with
him so that informant will look to Bureau for counsel prior to taking any
action against Bureau's best interests. Determine whether he has plans
for writing book, magazine or newspaper article, or otherwise publicizing
his activity. If so, impress him with desirability of coming to Bureau
for assistance and guidance. If informant insists on engaging in such
activities, Bureau will consider placing him in contact with reliable
publisher, but it must be made clear to informant that Bureau will not
sponsor or endorse any book or publication which he elects to write.
All payments to discontinued informants and confidential sources must be
made on strict c.o.d. basis, Obtain Bureau authority before making such
payments. Submit complete details as to information furnished by dis~:
continued informant or source in past and what is to be expected of
informant or source in future.

a concealed source in reports or memoranda. His true name is to be set
forth, together with descriptive data. -
When office receives information concerning, or obtains information from,
an ex-informant, copies of memoranda prepared must be furnished to office
which originally handled informant so that file will be as complete as
possible.
When informant has been discontinued for cause, such as unreliability,
do not contact him in future for information. If he furnishes information
it shonld be accepted, but in setting out information in reports or com-
munications use individual's true name, together with appropriate descrip-
tion of his reliability. :
Remove flash notice. -
Avoid repeated use of discontinued informant as witness at security trials
and hearings. Make all-out effort to develop witnesses who can furnish
same testimony. Advise Bureau of any indication by Government attorneys
that informant-witness who has previously testified will be called upon
for testimony at subsequent trial or hearing and furnish comments concerning
possibility of supplanting testimony of individual involved. Submit under
appropriate case character. :

Make every effort to prevent discontinued informant from bécoming involved

in situations which may prove embarrassing to informant or Government.

Immediately after he testifies for first time, SAC should have serious talk

with informant in presence of Agent who handled informant, This interview

should be conducted in field office and informant +o1d that:

a. He will no longer be operated by Bureau

b. Since he is public figure, he will probably be contacted by representa-
tives. of press, radio, and television for interviews and appearances

c. He may be sought as witness by congressional committees, Immigration
and Naturalization Service, and state authorities

a. In connection with such interviews and appearances, informant must
continue to be factual and truthful and must not build up or embellish‘
statements, for if he does so he will wind up in serious trouble

re
Bb
*

Advise Bureau results of such interview and comment on its possible effeo-
tiveness,

Be alert to possibilities of former informant being contacted by vepresen--
tatives of publicity media and as witness by congressional committees,

INS, and state authorities. SAC is responsible for knowing when former informant
is scheduled or is likely to appear at hearing or make public appearanceof - “
of any kind, Prior thereto in each instance, former informant must be

contacted and instructions above reiterated by Agent who handled informant.
Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to truth and make certain

he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he will be sub-

jected to criticism, possible libel, slander, or other criminal actions.

if he inquires as to whether he should appear or testify or otherwise

cooperate with any public or private individual or agency, advise him he

must make that decision himself, but if he has appeared as Government

witness in case which has not been finally adjudicated and decides in

affirmative, he should contact USA for instructions. Advise Bureau of any

such situations and results of any interviews conducted.

When contacting Agent feels discontinued informant could cause ombarress~

ment to Bureau, make arrangements to have former informant come to fic? (
office where he will be personally met by SAC. At that time, he should be
impressed with fact that his services were appreciated and were of consid~

erable assistance to security ‘of country and remind him that he signed agrees

ment when he was active as informant to maintain his relation with Bureau

on confidential basis. SAC shovld stress necessity for informant to main-~

tain this confidence,

{4} Separate statements should be prepared for each meeting or
separate activity in which informants engage and should be
dictated by Agent as if informant were preparing them himself. -

(5) Information, after being reduced to writing, should be read
promptly by informant and acknowledged by affixing his code
name on each pagé. In espionage and foreign nationality ~
matters, such authentication is necessary only where future
prosecution is possible,

(6) After informant authenticates statement, contacting Agent
should prepare cover sheet, form FD-306, which should be sta plea
to it. Thereafter stabement Should be handled as written one,

(7) Oral information furnished by informant purely of lead value
should be included in office memorandum by Agent and should
not be initialed by informant or exhibited to him or treated
as evidence.

Transmission of information

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting Agent -by
informants when possible. Careful consideration should be given to
full security of all such contacts. They should never be mailed to
field office or resident agency. If they cannot be obtained per-
sonally by contacting Agent, obtain confidential post office boxes
for their receipt.

Gonfidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious
names and not under names of persons who may be listed in post
office directory. More than one informant may send statements to

a post office box, but consideration should be given to obtaining
post office boxes in different post office stations to prevent
suspicion on part of postal employees.

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address -of another
confidential post office box obtained under fictitious name.
Statements should be collected at post office boxes regularly, but
time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation where-
by same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office box for
extended period of time..-

When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest,
he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting Agent or
office by most appropriate means of communication.

Handling of lead information

All lead information obtained from informant must be- run out to
logical conclusion.

If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case, tickler
card should be prepared to follow informant and take other logical
steps to obtain additional identifying data, Restrict tickler’ cards
to information which would warrant investigation if identity
established. If no identification is made after reasonable effort,
prepare memorandum for informant's subfile.

Handling documentary material furnished by informazits

Pamphlets and similar documentary material furnished by informants
should have placed thereon informant's code name. .
Informent should affix date he received material. If informant can-
not recall date of receipt, date he furnished material should be
affixed.

No additional markings of any kind, such as initials, date received,
permanent symbol number of informant, file numbers, indexing symbols,
ete., should be placed on documentary material.

Receipt of such material should be recorded on form FD-306 or on 2
channelizing memorandum containing all applicable items. See section
107K for filing instructions. .

Execution of party questionnaires
Informants, particularly in Communist Party, often must execute party
questionnaires and in doing so should be instructed to be extremely
careful not to jeoparidze their position as informants. If necessary,
each item in questionnaire should be discussed with informant.

Informant's activity in organizations

a. Informants in organizations must be impressed with necessity of
carrying on normal activity, such as canvassing, sale, and dis~-
tribution of literature, leaflets, etc.

b.' When feasible, informants should be instructed to accept direction
from leaders; request instruction and interpretation of organiza~ .
tion's precepts; request leaders to furnish sources for study
purposes; and enter discussions, not quietly sit back as observers.

ec. Changes in organization's conduct, policy, or strategy should be
reported on as they occur. Have informants give their opinions of
motivation behind such changes, but be certain opinions are labeled
as such.

a. Informants must be encouraged “to increase contacts within their orbit
in order to gain higher ‘positions, but in such manner as to avoid
suspicion.

SECTION 107 Os cco TY INFORMANTS AND conrro@rar SOURCES .

Transfer of informants to other areas ;
Keep alert to possibility of transferring informants to, areas needing

coverage through change in residence or employment.

Keep in mind overall coverage of.organizations. If informant becomes
prominent and may be able to expand his field of activity beyond your,
field division, encourage him to do so in order to provide wider cov-
erage for Bureau's work. :

Action by informant when uncovered

If informant is uncovered by subversive elements, instruct him to dé~-
fend himself vigorously and demand proof of his informant activity.
Suspicion in many cases is directed to an informant without facts to

back it up and by bluffing informant may confuse issue to point where

his services may not be lost.
In some cases it may be necessary for informant %o acquiesce to

charges of deviation from strict disciplines of organization involved, |
and thus cast off suspicion.

Requests of informant to help defend others -

If requested by Communist Party, or other interested parties to assist .
in preparation of defense in subversive-type cases or handle assign-
ment where such information is readily available, informant. should
tactfully decline.

Such requests should be reported immediately to contacting Agent and
made matter of record.

If informant cannot avoid becoming involved, instruct him not to report

any information pertaining to defense plans or strategy.
Promptly report any such incident to Bureau.

Preparation for testifying

Contacting Agent must condition informant to fact that someday knowledge
he possesses may be needed as evidence in court. Psychologically prepare
informant for fact that he may at future date be called upon to testify to
information he has furnished on security matters, Proper indoctrination
of informant is essential as Bureau must provide witnesses whenever
Department initiates prosecutions in security cases.

G. INFORMANTS! INFORMATION
1. General instructions re oral and written information

These instructions apply to security informants, potential security
informants, panel sources, security confidential sources, and
security sources of information.

Specific instructions must be given to informants concerning prepara-
tion of statements containing their information. :

They should be submitted as quickly 4s possible after meeting or
activity.

Written statements should be submitted when possible. .In espionage
and foreign nationality matters written statements are usually.
necessary only in those instances involving possible future prosecu-
tion, (In the majority of cases diplomats or officials who are not
subject to prosecution are involved. }

Carefully scrutinize each, bearing in mind that if informant is called
upon to testify at a later date his statements will very likely be
introduced in court.

All information furnished by. informants must be promptly reviewed,
recorded, indexed, evaluated, channelized, and all necessary action
taken. Form FD-306 may be used in lieu of channelizing memorandum if
desired, If so, prepare copies of FD-306 as needed for channelizing
and staple one copy to each copy of informant's statement being
channelized. Channelization should be noted on original FD-306 and
on 411 copies. When informant's statement contains references to
darge number of individuals ana /or organizations, and exceeds two
pages, consider channelizing to substantive case file only those por-.
tions of statement which apply to particular individuel or organiza-

tion. Of course, entire statement should be filed in informant's sub-~

file. This procedure should be employed unless logical reason
dictates otherwise.

SECTION 107 on" INFORMANTS AND conn SOURCES . 1O7D-F ,

Advise Bureau of progress being made at least every six months. Sub-
mit letters (FD-401) concerning potential informants who are not being
paid on Bureau authorization on UACB basis; include summary of infor-
mation furnished during past six months and certifications regarding
stability and indoctrination against disclosure. Follow form indicated
under section 107L, item 3b, below, except those items concerning pay-
ments.

Post record of all contacts with potential informants.

During contacts with potential informants, if it develops individual
does not have necessary capabilities, discontinue efforts.

Informants may raise a question concerning their position if it becomes
known publicly they are affiliated with subversive organization. In
such case, he may be told that his cooperation is matter of record in
FBI and if some question arises concerning his loyalty we will consider
making facts of his cooperation known to his employer or to responsible
individuals. Before taking steps to advise anyone of potential infor-_
mant's or informanti's cooperation, obtain Bureau authority.

From first interview with potential informant through development ‘and
until discontinued, use extreme caution at all times to be certain he is
not a plant.

When potential informant begins to furnish current information and
otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, assign permanent
symbol number and advise Bureau. This communication must be personally
initialed by SAC or ASAC acting in his absence. ‘Individual's :
background must be thoroughly reviewed at this time, keeping

in mind possibility of using informant as. witness. If individual

has any weaknesses, set forth safeguards being followed to

imsure security and prevent embarrassment to Bureau.

BUREAU POLICY

1.

2.

Development of military personnel

Do not develop informants among military personnel on military reserva-
tions, establishments, etc., unless specifically approved by Bureau.
Contacts by designated Agents

Contacts with informant or potential informant should only be made by
Agent or Agents specifically designated to contact him,

Divulging information to informant

No information should be divulged to potential informant or informant
concerning any of Bureau's investigative activity other than that which

is essential to his proper operation.

Recording investigative activity

All investigative activity must be made matter of record in field office
files with all sources of information being completely identified. Agents
must not have and use informants known only to individual Agents personally.

INDOCTRINATION, DIRECTION, AND CONTROL OF INFORMANTS

i.

-Caution agxinst divulging relationship

During initial development and consistently thereafter, impress. upon
informant absolute necessity that he refrain from divulging his rela-~
tionship with Bureau. These instructions must be properly phrased to
prevent possibility of Bureau's being accused (of attempting to impose
esnsorship.

Developing additional background

During development of informant, additional data concerning his back-
ground should be continuously obtained from informant. Be alert for
data revealing he is mentally or emotionally unstable, or has some
personal problem which would make him a risk.

Indications of instability

Immediately furnish details of any indications of instability to Bureau,

‘with recommendations as to informant's continuance and comments as to

any steps being taken to prevent embarrassment to Bureau.

4. ‘Gontacts by Agents
Except in es pionage and foreign nationality matters where frequency

of contact is dependent on circumstances, informants should be con
tacted as often as necessary, but at least one personal contact

should be made every two weeks. If such frequent contacts cannot be

established, obtain specific Bureau authority for exception to this

requirement.

During each contact, carefully review informant's activities since
previous contact and make certain informant has furnished all in-~
formation which he has obtained since last contact.

Contacting Agent should not only collect information but direct
informant, be aware of his activities, and maintain such close
relationship that he knows informant's attitude towards Burean.
Good judgment must prevail in handling-informant to see he doés

not become too familiar with Agent. Promptly advise Bureau of any -

indication informant is wavering in Bureau releationship.|

Arrangements for paying informant or personally contacting him must

be specific and no doubt should be left in minds of either Agent
or informant as to methods of payment, amount, place, and time. -
Informants should use only public telephones in communicating with
contacting Agent and consideration should be given to furnishing
informants nonpublished office telephone number for emergency com~
munication, This rule is not practical in all espionage and
foreign nationality matters but should be followed where applicabl
Positive information received from informant should be subject of
written statement by informant or memorandum prepared by contactin
Agent to be placed in informant's subfile and appropriately
channelized,

Record dates of all contacts, whether negative or positive, in
informant's administrative file. Memorandum or form FD-209 may be

.used, If informant contacted frequently, one memorandum or: form

may be used for several contacts.

Dates of negative contacts and file numbers of cases involved must
appear in informant'ts administrative file. Where file has more th
one subject, name of subject under inquiry should be noted. Do no
set forth title of case involved.

rf positive information received from informant, show only dates °
contacts in informant's administrative file. Place positive infor
tion in informant's subfile and appropriately channelize same.
Alternate Agent should be designated for contacts with informant
and should be thoroughly acquainted with informant so that contact
may be handled by alternate Agent where necessary. .

5. Checking reliability

Reliability of all active informants must be constantly checked.
Give consideration to use of any investigative technique deemed
necessary to be certain they are completely reliable and are fur~
nishing acourate, truthful information.

6, Pingerprints

After informant has been developed and unless some reason to
contrary exists, obtain and forward his fingerprints to Identifi-
cation Division if they are not on file there.

If informant refuses, do not force issue.

Forward informant's fingerprints as enclosure to FD-165 using
applicant-type fingerprint card, form FD-258, fully executed,
Appropriate field office should be shown as contributor, field
case file number in number space, and "“inguiry" in space for
“company and address" on face of card. .

3. Inquiries of discreet nature concerning individual's personal history
(date and place of birth, etc.), patriotism, health, reliability, ©
stability, integrity, general reputation, present and past employments,
and business connections. Investigation must definitely establish that

- individual can be used without danger of future embarrassment due
to instability or unreliability. Securing background information from
individual is not sufficient; his background must be established by
investigation, including discreet inquiries among persons personally -
acquainted with him. :

4, Check of local credit and arrest records. Submit FD-165 to Identifica-
tion Division to ebtain any record he may have and to place stop
against fingerprints if on file.

5. Review armed services record if applicable,

6. Check draft status or status in armed forces reserve,

7. Check domestic status and, if any marital difficulties, obtain details.

8. Persons being considered for use in espionage and foreign nationality
cases may present special problems which limit scope of investigation.
(See instructions re contact cases and deseco program, section 105, .
volume IV, of this manual, ) However, where practical, cover above items,

Leads must be handled by auxiliary offices within 30 days. Investigation
must be completed prior to any request to guide, direct, or designate in-
dividual as potential security informant.

APPROVAL, INDOCTRINATION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL INFORMANTS

1. When background information obtained, transmit results to Bureau in same
numerical sequence set out in subsection C, and request authority to des-
ignate individual as Bureau-approved potential security informant and to
proceed with development. Do not submit on UACB basis. Include physical
description. . .

2. After designation as Bureau-approved potential security informant, fol-

lowing matters should be made clear to him:

a. His assistance is strictly voluntary and he is to understand there is
no coercion: or intimidation involved, :

b. He is not and cannot consider himself employee or "undercover Agent"
of PBI. Seriousness of violating impersonation statutes must be-
impressed upon him.

G. His cooperation must be strictly confidential at all times and if
he should feel he cannot maintain this confidence, he should so
advise. There should be no doubt left in mind of potential informant
that his relationship must remain on confidential basis and if he
violates confidence he will be of no value and by so doing. Bureau's
investigative activity may be jeopardized, If he has special .
problem which would require revealing his assistance to his wife or’
other pertinent individual, this should be ascertained and appropriate
recommendation made to Bureau. ,

a. If potential informant is connected in any manner with lebor union,
inform him that Bureau is not interested in employer-employee relation~
ships as such and is only concerned with obtaining information on
infiltration of unions by subversive elements. .

@. If potential informant is student, teacher, or has any similar
relations with.school, college, or university, in initial interview
and subsequent handling, follow current instructions concerning in-
vestigations on campuses. .

Do not interview female potential informants in their homes or apartments

unless necessary and any such interviews should be conducted by two

Agents after specific approval of superior in field office responsibié

for development of informants. This instruction is not applicable where

active investigation has established that potential informant is of good
character, there is no indication of affiliation with subversive groups,
and there will be no embarrassment to Bureau. :

Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where contact, is

maintained on @ periodic basis dependent on circumstances, contact

potential informants personally at least once every two weeks.

‘Make every effort to prevent discontinued informant from becoming involved

Immediately after he testifies for first time, SAC should have serious talk

with informant in presence of Agent who handled informant. This interview

should be conducted in field office and informant told that:

a. He will no longer be operated by Bureau :

b. Since he is public figure, he will probably be contacted by representa-
tives of press, radio, and television for interviews and appearances

c. He may be sought as witness by congressional committees, Immigration
and Naturalization Service, and state authorities

ad. In connection with such interviews and appearances, informant must
continue to be factual and truthful and must not build up ov embellish
statements, for if he does so hé will wind up in serious trouble

in situations which may prove embarrassing to informant or Government. ; C

Advise Bureau results of such interview and comment om its possible effec-
tiveness, .

Be alert to possibilities of former informant being contacted by represen~-"
tatives of publicity media and as witness by congressional committees,

INS, and state authorities. SAC is responsible for knowing when former informant

is scheduled or is likely to appear at hearing or make public-appseranceof .
of any kind, Prior thereto in each instance, former informant must he
contacted and instructions above reiterated by Agent who handled informant.
Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to truth and make certain

he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he will be sub-
jected to criticism, possible libel, slander, or other criminal actions.

If he inguires as to whether he should appear or testify or otherwise
cooperate with any public or private individual or agency, advise him he

must make that decision himself, but if he has appeared as Government

witness in case which has not been finally adjudicated and decides in
affirmative, he should contact USA for instructions. Advise Bureau of any
such situations and results of any interviews conducted. .

When contacting Agent feels discontinued informant could cause embarrass~
ment to Bureau, make arrangements to have former informant come to field
office where he will be personally met by SAC. At that time, he should be (
impressed with fact that his services were appreciated and were of consid-
erable assistance to security of country and remind him that he signed agree-
ment when he was active as informant to maintain his relation with Bureau

on confidential basis. SAC should stress necessity for informant to main~
tain this confidence. .

NISHING INFORMANTS TO IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INS)

INS, in order to enforce its responsibilities, must obtain evidence to
prove that certain aliens, due to their membership in certain groups, are
undesirable and deportable or subject to denaturalization.

Cooperate fully with INS in these cases and make efforts consistent with
your own interests to make available information and witnesses where
possible. - .

Iz contacted by INS inquiring for informants and you have discontinued
informant or one who would be of assistance to INS and whose loss would not
affect your work, furnish his identity to Bureau, together with your
recommendation. .

Bureau will review facts and advise as to whether or not his identity may
pe disclosed to INS, ;
Before any informant is turned over to INS, obtain his permission.

When services of informant are discontinued, mark name card "cancelled."
Destroy symbol card. Never destroy name card. .
Refile name card in numerical order by symbol number in symbol number
index. If discontinued informant, potential informant, or confidential
source to whom symbol number was once assigned later is reactivated,
remove name card from symbol number index, mark it reactivated with ap-
propriate date, note type of information he will now be furnishing, and
refile it alphabetically in name card section of index.
When potential informant or confidential source is discontinued ana
permanent symbol has not been assigned, destroy alphabetical index card.
Advise Bureau of date when potential informant or informant is discontinued
and reason therefor. Advise Bureau as to whether or not informant is
willing to testify in open court or before administrative hearing boards.
Icentity of all cases of security of Government employees type in which
informant has furnished information must be ascertained and Bureau advised
in compliance with section 19, volume II, of this manual.
Review informant's file to determine aif correspondence between Bureau and
field relating to Department's interest in using informant as witness is
contained therein. In those cases in which Department has indicated de~
sire to consider informant when he becomes available, advise Bureau in
each such substantive case, except when it is obvious statute of limita-
tions has run or case has been adjudicated, This exception does not apply
to security of Government employees cases. When above action is completed,
advise Bureau.
Statement shall also be made to effect that measures to control informants,
set out in item 7, below, have been considered and recommendations shall
be made when it appears such are warranted.
When services of informant are discontinued, maintain close contact with
him so that informant will look to Bureau for counsel prior to taking any
action against Bureau's best interests. Determine whether he has plans
for writing book, magazine or newspaper article, or otherwise publicizing
his activity. If so, impress him with desirability of coming +o Bureau
for assistance and ‘guidance. If informant insists on engaging in such’
activities, Bureau will consider placing him in contact with reliable
publisher, but it must be made clear to informant that Bureau will not
sponsor or endorse any book or publication which he elects to write.
ALL payments to discontinued informants and confidential sources must be
made on strict c.o.d. basis, Obtain Bureau authority before making such
payments. Submit complete details as to information furnished by dis-
continued informant or source in past and what is to be expected of
informant or source in future. :
Once informant is exposed in any manner whatsoever, do not carry him as
@ concealed source in reports or memoranda. His true name is to be set
forth, together with descriptive data, :
When office receives information concerning, or obtains information from,
an ex-informant, copies of memoranda prepared must be furnished to office
which originally handled informant so that file will be as complete as
possible.
When informant has been discontinued for cause, such as unreliability,
do not contact him in future for information. If he furnishes information
it should be accepted, but in setting out information in reports or com-
munications use individualts true name, together with appropriate descrip-
tion of his reliability.
Remove flash notice [per item F, 6, e of this section. ]
Avoid repeated use of discontinued informant as witness at security trials
and hearings. Make all-out effort to develop witnesses who can furnish
same testimony. Advise Bureau of any indication by Government attorneys
that informant-witness who has previously testified will be -called upon
for testimony at subsequent trial or hearing and furnish comments concerning
possibility of supplanting testimony of individual involved. Submit under
appropriate case character. .

1. Assigning numbers
a, ALL informants should be designated by permanent symbol | number of

which Bureau must be advised. Once number assigned, it must nowt be

subsequently reassigned to any other informant or source. :

b, Potential security informants and confidential sources whose identity
must be protected may be assigned permanent symbol numbers if they are
producing sufficient information to warrant use of such designations,

c&. Individuals to whom permanent symbols assigned are not to he advised
of such symbols,

&@. Cover name should be used by informant in signing his statements and
in communications between informant and field office. | Advise Bureau
of covar name,

@. Prefix of symbol number consists of appropriate field office teletype
abbreviation. Suffix of symbol number will consist of letter "S" for
security informant; letters "PSI" for potential security informant;
Letters["CS" ]for confidential source.

« Although source may subsequently furnish information requiring change
in designation (e.8.> from security to oriminal or to racial, etc.),
number previously assigned will remain same; however, suffix is to
be changed to appropriata letter or letters *sndicating this change
(NY-000-S to NY-000-C or to NY-000-R).

2. Communications - use of symbols

a. After Bureau is advised of permanent symbol, in subsequent communica-—
tions true name of informant should not be set forth; use symbol

ad. Informants and sources entering another division .

(1) Active informants and sources entering another division on
temporary basis should be referred to in initial letter to
interested office by true name and symbol number if, necessary
for other division to know identity. Office receiving such
letter should make appropriate index cards for "Informants and
Sources in Other Divisions" index. Subsequent letters between
interested offices may then identify individual by symbol number
only.

Individuals who leave division where they have been furnishing

information and do not plan to return should be immediately

discontinued, their symbol number, if any, should be cancelled,
and their true name used in all administrative correspondence,

(3) If informant is transferred to another office and remains aebive.s

his identity must still be protected.

H. SYMBOLS
1, Assigning numbers

Va a, All informants should be designated by permanent symbol number of

which Bureau must be advised. Once number assigned, it must not be
subsequently reassigned to any other informant or source.

b. Potential security informants and confidential sources whose identity
must be protected may be assigned permanent symbol numbers if ‘they are
producing sufficient information to warrant use of such designations.

ec. Individuals to whom permanent symbols assigned are not to be advised
of such symbols. . -

a. Cover name should be used by informant in signing his statements and
in communications between informant and field office. Advise Bureau
of cover name.

8. Prefix of symbol number consists of appropriate field office teletype
abbreviation. Suffix of symbol number will consist of letter "S" for
security informant; letters "PSI" for potential security informant;
letters "CS" for confidential source.

£. Although source may subsequently furnish information requiring change -

: in designation (e.g., from security to criminal or to racial, ete.),
number previously assigned will remain same; however, suffix is to.
be changed to appropriate letter or letters indicating this change

‘i (NY 000-S to NY 000-C or to NY O00- R).
2. Communications - use of symbols

a. After Bureau is advised of permanent symbol, in subsequent communica-
tions true name of informant should not be set forth; use symbol
number.

b. In all communications after initial letter, Bureau and field office
file numbers for informant must be set forth.

c. In communications between offices, follow same procedure -

ad. Informants and sources entering another division
(1) Active informants and sources entering another division on

temporary basis should be referred to in initial letter to
interested office by true name and symbol number if necessary

( for other division to know identity. Office receiving such

letter should make appropriate index cards for "“Informants and
Sources in Other Divisions" index, Subsequent letters between
interested offices may then identify individual by symbol number
only.

(2) Tndividuals who leave division where they have been furnishing
information and do not plan to return should be immediately
discontinued, their symbol number, if any, should be cancelled,

. @nd their true name used in all administrative correspondence,

(3) If informant is transferred to another office and-remains active,
his identity must still be protected, :

e. In communications concerning potential security informant when a
symbol number is not assigned, name of potential seourity informant
and abbreviation "PSI" shall be used; e.g., “John Doe, PSI."

£. %In espionage and foreign nationality matters, caption of communica~
tion should also show character and country designation (i.e., IS - R
for Russia or IS - PO for Poland, etc.}). This facilitates routing
at Bureau.

I. INDEXING
True names and aliases of all informants, as well as cover name assigned, shall
be indexed in general office indices as any other name. Index cards should
“show file number of informant, but such terms as "Informant" or "Potential
Security Informant" shall not appear.

J. INDICES
1. Alphabetical name index and symbol number index
Are to be kept by SAC, ASAC, or security supervisor consistent with.
maximum security and best administrative practice
.@&. Alphabetical name index
In all offices maintain card index showing true identities of all
security informants, potential security informants, and security
( confidential sources. This is to be known as alphabetical name index.

CORRECTIVE ACTION ON FALSE INFORMATION

When it is determined that informant or ex-informant furnished false informa ~
tien while informant, promptly advise Bureau of complete facts.

Set forth your suggestion relative to wording to be used in describing
informant in future, such as: “informant of known unreliability" or
"informant who has furnished both reliable and unreliable information in
the past,"

Bureau will advise which dasignation to use. Then proceed with review of
all data furnished by individual and label information from him accordingly.
ALL communications containing information from informant which have been
disseminated to Bureau, other Bureau offices, and to outside agencies

must be corrected...

Identify cases individually by title and character, together with dates

of communications containing information. .

If information was used in reports, corrective letters should.be crystal
clear and refer to specific report, page number, and change to, be made.
Amended pages should not be prepared unless so instructed hy Bureau in
accordance with part II, section 4, of Manual of Rules and Regulations.
Corrective action should be called to attention of other Bureau offices,-
outside agencies, and Bureau by letter.

instruct each interested Bureau office which has made further a@issemina-
tion of information to follow instructions set forth above.

Set up control file regarding this corrective action, and upon completion
of same submit to Bureau final letter under informant's caption identifying
each case by title, character, Bureau file, where known, and date of com-.
munication. This letter will be used to check all pertinent Bureau files
to see that necessary corrective action has been taken.

If necessary, other field offices which have received information from
informant should also be requested to submit summary letters showing what

. corrections have been made.

All information from informant must be correctly Tabelea and great care

must be taken to see that this is done.

Occasionally, ex-informant through his speech, writings, or actions raises

2 doubt as to his reliability subsequent to times he was informant. It.

is not necessary to go back and change evaluation of information attributed
to that individual in absence of definite indication that informant furnished
unreliable information while he was informant.

Dissemination of information from sources of questionable reliability and
known unreliability should be made in accordance with part II, section 5,
Menual of Rules and Regulations.

Assignment of symbols

@. Symbol number may be assigned if an unusual security problem exists,
or if typing would be saved.

b. Advise Bureau by letter giving name, address, business affiliation,
symbol number, reason for assigning symbol number, and brief state-
ment concerning type of information furnished,

co. Abbreviation "CS" may be used in intra-Bureau communications for -

SECTION Lo7@ szcvarey INFORMANTS AND const @Qeran SOURCES,

(4) Separate statements should be prepared for each meeting or
separate activity in which informants engage and should be
dictated by Agent as if informant were preparing them himself.

{5) Enformation, after being reduced to writing, should be read
promptly by informant and acknowledged by affixing his code
name on each page, In espionage and foreign nationality
matters, such authentication is necessary only where future
prosecution is possible,

(6) After informant authenticates statement, contacting Agent
should prepare cover sheet, form FD-306, which should be stapled
to it. Thereafter statement should be handled as written one.

(7) Oral information furnished by informant purely of lead value
should be included in office memorandum by Agent and should *
not be initialed by informant or exhibited to him or treated
as evidence,

3. Transmission of information

Statements should be personally delivered to contacting “Agent by
informants when possible. Careful consideration should be given to
full security of all such contacts. They should never be mailed to
field office or resident agency. If they cannot be obtained per-
sonally by contacting Agent, obtain confidential post office boxes
for their receipt.

Confidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious
names 2nd not under names of persons who may be listed in post
office directory. More than one informant may send statements to

a post office box, but consideration should be given to obtaining
post office boxes in different post office stations to prevent
suspicion on part of postal employees.

Envelope enclosing statement should have return address of another
confidential post office box obtained under fictitious name.
Statements should be collected at post office boxes regularly, but
time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation where-
by same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office box for
extended period of time.

When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest,
he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting Agent or
office by most appropriate means of communication.

4, Handling of lead information

All lead information obtained from informant must be run out to
logical conclusion, .
If there is insufficient information to warrant opening case, tickler
card should be prepared to follow informant and take other logical
steps to obtain additional identifying data. Restrict tickler cards
to information which would warrant investigation if identity :
established. If no identification is made after reasonable effort,
prepare memorandum for informant's subfile.

5. Handling documentary material furnished by informants

Pamphiets and similar documentary material furnished by informants
should have placed thereon informant's code name.

Informant should affix date he received material. If informant can-
not recall date of receipt, date he furnished material should be
affixed. .

No additional markings of any kind, such as initials, date received,
permanent symbol number of informant, file numbers, indexing symbols,
etc., should be placed on documentary material.

Receipt of such material should be recorded on form FD-306 or on @
channelizing memorandum containing all applicable items. See section
1O7K for filing instructions. .

ra file. This procedure should be employed unless logical reason

\ dictates otherwise. ;

. g- Prior to any prosecution or administrative hearing, advise trial
attorney that informant not only furnished information concerning
instent case but also provided other statements not pertinent to .
case at issue. Trial attorney will thus be prepared in event in-
formant testifies on direct examination or cross-examination that
he furnished information in addition.to his testimony.

2. Recording written and oral information

a. Written by informant .
. L May be in bandwriting or hand printing of informant or. typed.

(3) Prepare on paper devoid of any Bureau markings or identifica~
tion.-

(4) Date when informant prepares statement should be placed at
top of statement.

(5) ALL information obtained by in? ormants regarding each meeting
or separate activity in which they engage should be sub-
mitted in one statement.

(6) Informants should include in statements specific dates and
places; purpose of meeting or activity being related; iden-
tities of speakers and persons present, plus their known status
in any group; and specific activity or comments of individuals
present.

(7) Informant should identify statement by affixing his code name
immediately under the last written line on each page. Any cor-
rections, erasures, changes, or additions should be identified
by informant affixing his code name or initials of his code name.

8 Agents' names should never appear on any page.
Informant should refer to himself in body of statement by his

10. Transfer of informants to other areas

a. Keep alert to possibility of transferring informants to areas needing
coverage through change in residence or employment,

b. Keep in mind overall coverage of organizations. If informant becomes
prominent and may be able to expand his field of activity beyond your
field division, encourage him to do so in order to provide wider cov-
erage for Bureau's work. . ,

LL. Action by informant when uncovered se

a. If informant is uncovered by subversive elements, instruct him to de~-
fend himself vigorously and demand proof of his informant activity.

b. Suspicion in many cases is directed to an informant without facts to
pack it up and by bluffing informant may confuse issue to point where -

! his services may not be lost. ,

| c. In some cases it may be necessary for informant to acquiesce to
charges of deviation from strict discipline of organization involved, ay
and thus cast off suspicion, oo

12. Requests of informant to help defend others

a. If requested by Communist Partys or other interested parties “bo assist
in preparation of defense in subversive-type cases or handle assign- .

ment where such information is readily available, informant should
tactfully decline.

b. Such requests should be reported immediately to contacting Agent and
made matter of record.

ce. If informant cannot avoid becoming involved, instruct him not -to report
any information pertaining to defense plans or strategy.

ad. Promptly report any such incident to Burean.

e. [If an informant is present in conversation between an attorney and
individual under criminal indictment, he should immediately leave.

Tf he is unable to do so and inadvertently learns of defense plans
or strategy, he is not to report the substance of any such
conversation to the FBI. Additionally, the informant is not to
engage in or report the substance of a conversation with a criminal
defendant dealing with the offense for which the defendant is ;
under indictment, ] . (
13. Preparation for testifying
Contacting Agent must condition informant to fact that someday knowledge
| he possesses may be needed as evidence in court. Psychologically prepare
informant for fact that he may at future date be called upon to testify to
information he has furnished on security matters. Proper indoctrination
of informant is essential as Bureau must provide witnesses whenever
Department initiates prosecutions in security cases.

G. INFORMANTS! INFORMATION
1. General instructions re oral and written information

a. These instructions apply to security informants, potential security
informants, panel sources, security confidential sources, and
sacurity sources of information.

b. Specific instructions must be given to informants concerning -prepara-
tion of statements containing their information.

c, They should be submitted as quickly as possible after meeting or
activity.

ad, Written statements should be submitted when possible. In espionage
and foreign nationality matters written statements are usually
necessary only in those instances involving possible future -prosecu~
tion. (In the majority of cases diplomats or officials who are not
subject to prosecution are involved.)

e. Carefully serutinize each, bearing in mind that if informent is called
upon to testify at a later date his statements will very dikely be

! introduced in court.

2. <ALL information furnished by informants must be promptly reviewed,
recorded, indexed, evaluated, channelized, and all necessary action ~
taken. Form FD-306 may be used in lieu of channelizing memorandum if
desired. If so, prepare copies of FD-306 as needed for channelizing
and staple one copy to each copy of informant's statement being
channelized. Channelization should be noted on original FD-306 and (
on all copies. When informant's statement contains references to
large number of individuals and/or organizations, and exceeds two
pages, consider channelizing to substantive case file only those por-~

double agents to obtain maximum results and prevent any possible
embarrassment to Bureau.

b. Obtain signed statement set out below when feasible and practical,
Where it is-not practical to secure.such signed statement.from an _
informant or double agent, advise Bureau of complete details. SAG _ .

Informants, particularly in Communist Party, often must execute party
questionnaires and in doing so should be instructed to. be extremely
careful not to jeoparidze their position .as informants." If necessary,
each item in questionnaire should be discussed with informant.

9, Informant's aobtivity in organizations

a. Informants in organizations must be impressed with necessity of
carrying on normal activity, such as canvassing, sale, and dis-
tribution of literature, leaflets, etc.

b. When feasible, informants should be instructed to accept direction
from leaders; request instruction and interpretation of organiza~
tion's precepts; request leaders to furnish sources for study
purposes; and enter discussions, not quietly sit back as observers,

c. Changes in organization's conduct, policy, or strategy should be
reported on as they occur. Have informants give their opinions of

a. Except in espionage’ and foreign nationality matters where frequency
of contact is dependent on circumstances, informants should be con- (
tacted as often as necessary, but at least one personal contact
should be made every two weeks. If such frequent contacts cannot be
established, obtain specific Bureau authority for exception to this _—
requirement. . . :
‘b. During each contact, carefully review informant's activities since
previous contact and make certain informant has furnished all in-
formation which he has obtained since last contact.

c. Contacting Agent should not only collect information but direct:
informant, be aware of his activities, and maintain such close
relationship that he knows informant's attitude towards Bureau.

Good judgment must prevail in handling informant to see he does
not become too familiar with Agent. Promptly advise Bureau of any
indication informant is wavering in Bureau relationship.

ad. Arrangements for paying informant or personally contacting him must
be specific and no doubt shovld be left in minds of either Agent
or informant as to methods of payment, amount, place, and time.

e. Informants should use only public telephones in communicating with
contacting Agent and consideration should be given to furnishing
informants nonpublished office telephone number for emergency com-
munication. This rule is not practical in all espionage and
foreign nationality matters but should be followed where applicable.

£. Positive information received from informant should be subject of
written statement by informant or memorandum prepared by contacting
Agent to be placed in informant's subfile and appropriately
channelized. -- .

g. Record dates of all contacts, whether ne gabive or positive, in

and should be thoroughly acquainted with informant so that contacts
may be handled by alternate Agent where necessary.

5, Checking reliability
@. Reliability of all active informants must be constantly checked.
b. Give consideration to use of any investigative technique deemed

necessary to be certain they are completely reliable and are _fur-
nishing accurate, truthful information.

6. Pingerprints
a. After informant hes been developed and unless some reason to

contrary exists, obtain and forward his fingerprints to identifi-
cation Division if they are not on file there. .

b. If informant refuses, do not force issue.

c. Forward informant's fingerprints as enclosure to FD- 165 using
applicant-type fingerprint card, form FD-258, fully executed.
Appropriate field office should be shown as contributor, Field
case file number in number space, and "inquiry" in space for
"company and address" on face of card. _ . .

4. Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where contact is
maintained on a periodic basis dependent on circumstances, contact
potential informants personally at least once every two weeks,

( 5. Advise Bureau of progress being made 2t least every six months. Sub-

. mit letters (FD-401) concerning potential informants who are not being
paid on Bureau authorization on UACB basis; include summary of infor-
mation furnished during past six months and certifications regarding

8. Informants may raise a question concerning their position if it becomes
known publicly they are affiliated with subversive organization. In .
such case, he may be told that his cooperation is matter of record in
FBI and if some question arises concerning his loyalty we will consider
making facts of his cooperation known to his employer or to responsible

- individuals, Before taking steps to advise anyone of potential infor-

: mant's or informant's cooperation, obtain Bureau authority.

9. From first interview with potential informant through development and-
until discontinued, use extreme caution at all times to be certain he is
not a plant.

10. When potential informant begins to furnish current information and
otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, assign permanent _
symbol number and advise Bureau. This communication must be personally
initialed by SAC or ASAC acting in his absence. Individual's
background must be thoroughly reviewed at this time, keeping
in mind possibility of using informant es witness. If individual
has any weaknesses, set forth safeguards being followed to
insure security and prevent embarrassment to Bureau.

BE. BUREAU POLICY
1. Development of military personnel
° Do not develop informants among militery personnel on military reserva~
( tions, establishments, eto., unless specifically approved by ‘Bureau,
2. Contacts by designated Agents -
Gontacts with informant or potential informant should only be made by
Agent or Agents specifically designated to contact him,
3. _Divulging information to informant
No information should be divulged to potential informant or informant
concerning any of Bureau's investigative activity other than that which -
is essential to his proper operation.
4, Recording investigative activity
All investigative activity must be made matter of record in field office
files with all sources of information being completely identified. Agenta
must not have and use informants known only to individual Agents personally.

F. INDOCTRINATION, DIRECTION, AND CONTROL OF INFORMANTS

1. Caution against divulging relationship
During initial development and consistently thereafter, impress upon |
informant absolute necessity that he refrain from divulging his. rela~
tionship with Bureau. These instructions must be properly phrased to
prevent possibility of Bureau's being accused of attempting to impose
censorshind.

2. Developing additional background
During development of informant, additional data concerning his pack~
ground should be continuously obtained from informant. Be alert for
data revealing he is mentally or emotionally unstable, or has some - . -
personal problem which would make him a risk.

3. Indications of instability
Immediately furnish details of any indications of instability to Bureau,
with recommendations as to informant's continuance and comments as to
any steps being taken to prevent embarrassment to Bureau.

Q. CORRECTIVE ACTION ON FALSE INFORMATION

When it is determined that informant or ex-informant furnished false informa-
tion while informant, promptly advise Bureau of complete facts.

Set forth your suggestion relative to wording to be used in describing
informant in future, such as: "informant of known unreliability" or
"snformant who has furnished both reliable and unreliable information in
the past." . . .
Bureau will advise which designation to use. Then proceed with review of
all data furnished by individual and label information from him accordingly.
All communications containing information from informant which hava been
disseminated to Bureau, other Bureau offices, and to outside agencies

must be corrected. .

Identify cases individually by title and character, together with datas

of communications containing information.

If information was used in reports, corrective letters should be orystal

accordance with part IT, section 4, of Manual of Rules and Regulations,
Corrective action should be called to attention of other Bureau offices,
outside agencies, and Bureau by letter.

Instruct each interested Bureau office which has made further dissemina~.
tion of information to follow instructions set forth above. |

Set up control file regarding this corrective action, and upon completian
of same submit to Bureau final letter under informant's caption identifying
each case by title, character, Bureau file, where known, and date of com-
munication. This letter will be used to check all pertinent Bureau files
to see that necessary corrective action has been taken.

If necessary, other field offices which have received information from
informant should also be requested to submit summary letters showing what
corrections have been made.

All information from informant must be correctly labeled and great care
must be taken to see that this is done. .
Occasionally, ex~informant through his speech, writings, or actions raises
a doubt as to his reliability subsequent to time he was informant.” It

is not necessary to go back and changa evaluation of information attributed
to that individual in absence of definite indication that informant furnished
unreliable information while he was informant.

3. Inguiries of discreet nature concerning individual's personal history
(date and place of birth, etc.), patriotism, health, reliability,
stability, integrity, general reputation, present and past employments,
and business ‘connections. Investigation must definitely establish that
individual can be used without danger of future embarrassment due
to instability or unreliability. Securing background information from
individual is not sufficient; his background must be established by -
investigation, including diseréet inquiries among persons personally
acquainted with him.

to obtain any record he may have and to place stop against fingerprints
if on file. : : .

5. Review armed services record if applicable.

7. Check domestic status and, if any marital difficulties, obtain details,

8. Persons being considered for use in espionage and foreign nationality
cases may present special problems which limit scope of investigation.
(See instructions re contact cases and deseco program, section 105,.
volume IV, of this manual.) However, where practical, cover above items.

Leads must be handled by auxiliary offices within 30 days. Investigation
must be completed prior to any request to guide, direct, or designate in-
dividual as potential security informant.

D. APPROVAL, INDOCTRINATION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL INFORMANTS
1. When background information obtained, transmit results to Bureau in same
numerical sequence set out in subsection C, and request authority to des-
ignate individual as Bureau-approved potential security informant and to
proceed with development. Submit by secure teletype (usually Nitel),

Be brief and concise. Do not submit on UACB basis. Include physical

description. :

a. If the individual is a student, include separate paragraph clearly
setting forth the number of extremist and/or security informants,
the number of potential extremist and/or potential security in-- .
formants, and the number of panel sources currently being operated at
the particular college or university to which the request pertains.

2. After designation as Bureau-approved potential security informant, fol-
lowing matters should be made clear to him: :

a. His assistance is strictly voluntary and he is to understand there is
no coercion or intimidation: involved,

b. He is not and cannot consider himself employee or "undercover Agent"
of FBI. Seriousness of violating impersonation statutes must be
impressed upon him. . . .

ce. His cooperation must be strictly confidential at all times and if
he should feel he cannot maintain this confidence, he should so
advise. There should be no doubt left in mind of potential informant
that his relationship must remain on confidential basis and if he
violates confidence he will be of no value and by so doing Bureau's
investigative activity may be jeopardized, If he has special
problem which would require revealing his assistance to his wife or
other pertinent individual, this should be ascertained and appropriate
recommendation made to Bureau.

a. If potential informant is connected in any manner with labor union,
inform him that Bureau is not interested in employer-employee relation-
ships as such and is only concerned with obtaining information on
infiltration of unions by subversive elements. . .

Receipt of unemployment compensation

a, At times informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs
and become eligible for unemployment compensation. Where un-
employment regulations require listing of all sources of income as
prerequisite for unemployment compensation and informants and/or
sources who are being paid by Bureau fail to comply, situation is
potentially embarrassing. Bureau cannot be placed in position of
condoning violation of state law on part of any informant or source.
Field office must determine from state unemployment compensation
officials effect of unemployment compensation laws on paid informants
and/or sources, Depending on local requirements, informants and
sources must be @lerted accordingly.

b. When paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has knowledge
of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and submit
recommendations to Bureau on UACB basis. At same time, weigh seriously
possible need for informant to apply and accept unemployment compen-
sation to protect his security. Fellow members of subversive organi-
zation may be aware of his unemployment status and would expect him-
to apply. Where state requires notification of Bureau payments to in~
formants that would necessitate disclosure of identity, discontinue
Bureau payments during period of unemployment compensation benefits.

3. Inquiries of discreet nature concerning individual's personal history
{dzte and place of birth, etc.), patriotism, health, reliability,
stability, integrity, general reputation, present and past employments,
and business connections. Investigation must definitely establish that
individual can be used without danger of future embarrassment due
to instability or unreliability. Securing background information from
individual is not sufficient; his background must be established by
investigation, including discreet inquiries among persons personally
acquainted with him.

4. Check local arrest recordse Submit FD-165 to Identification Division to
obtain any record he may have and to place stop against fingerprints if

on file. ttn order to eliminate the possibility of jeopardizing the security
of Bureau informants, the word "Informant" should not be indicated in

blank ballot box on FD-165. It should be noted the informant file number
serves as an indication to the Identification Division of the type of

flash notice desired. . ;

5. Review armed services record if applicable.

6. Check draft status or status in armed forces reserve.

7. Check domestic status and, if any marital difficulties, obtain details. -

8. Persons being considered for use in espionage and foreign nationality

volume IV, of this manual.) However, where practical, cover above items.

Leads must be handled by auxiliary offices within 30 days. Investigation
must be completed prior to any request to guide, direct, or designate in-~
dividual as potential security informant.

D. APPROVAL, INDOCTRINATION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL INFORMANTS

numerical sequence set cut in subsection C, and request authority to des-
ignate individual as Bureav-approved potential security informant and to
proceed with development. Submit by secure teletype (usually Nitel),

Be brief and concise. Do not submit on UACB basis. Include physical.

description.

a, If the individual is a student, include separate paragraph clearly
setting forth the number of extremist and/or security informants ,
the number of potential extremist and/or potential security in-
formants, and the number of panel sources currently being operated at
the particular college or university to which the request pertains.

2. After designation as Bureau-approved potential security informant, fol-
lowing matters should be made clear to him:

a. His assistance is strictly voluntary and he is to understand there is
no coercion or intimidation involved,

b. He is not and cannot consider himself employee or "undercover Agent"
of FBI, Seriousness of violating impersonation statutes mus. be
impressed upon him.

c. His cooperation must be strictly confidential at all times and if
he should feel he cannot maintain this confidence, he should so
advise. There should be no doubt left in mind of potential informant
that his relationship must remain on confidential basis and if he
violates confidence he will be of no value and by so doing Bureau's
investigative activity may be jeopardized. If he has special
problem which would require revealing. his assistance to his wife or
other pertinent individual, this shonld be ascertained and appropriate
recommendation made to Bureau.

ships as such and is only concerned with obtaining information on
infiltration of unions by subversive elements.

Inguiries of discreet nature concerning individual's personal history
(date and place of birth, etc.), patriotism, health, reliability,
stability, integrity, general reputation, present and past employments,
and business connections. Investigation must definitely establish that
individual can be used without danger of future embarrassment due

to instability or unreliability. Securing background information from
individual is not sufficient; his background must be established by
investigation, including discreet inquiries among persons personally
acquainted with him. .

Check local arrest records. Submit FD-165 to Identification Division to
obtain any record he may have and to place stop against fingerprints if
on Files In order to eliminate the possibility of jeopardizing the security
of Bureau informants, the word "Informant" should not be indicated in
blank ballot box on FPD-165. It should be noted the informant file number
serves as an indication to the Identification Division of the type of
flash notice desired.

Review armed services record if applicable. [FD-356 must be used in any
routine check pertaining to informants making sure all references, such
as symbol number, which would tend to identify individual as an .
informant are deleted. .

Gheck draft status or status in armed forces reserves

Check domestic status and, if any marital difficulties, obtain details.
Persons being considered for use in espionage and foreign nationality
cases may present special problems which limit scope of investigation.

proceed with development. Submit by secure teletype (usually Nitel),

Be brief and concise. Do not submit on UACB basis. Include physical

description.

After designation as Bureau~approved potential security informant, fol-

lowing matters should be made clear to him: :

a. His assistance is strictly voluntary and he is to understand there is
no coercion or intimidation involved.

bd. He is not and cannot consider himself employee or “undercover Agent"
of FBI. Seriousness of violating impersonation statutes must be
impressed upon him.

c. His cooperation must be strictly confidential at all times and if
he should feel he cannot maintain this confidence, he should so
advise. There should be no doubt left in mind of potential informant
that his relationship must remain on confidential basis and if he
violates confidence he will be of no value and by so doing Bureau's

‘ investigative activity may be jeopardized, If he has special :
problem which would require revealing his assistance to his wife or
other pertinent individual, this should be ascertained and appropriate
recommendation made to Bureau. :

a. If potential informant is connected in any manner with labor union,
inform him that Bureau is not interested in employer-employee relation-

‘a copy of the informant's statement to FD~306.] When informant's

statement contains references to large number of individuals and/or
organizations, and exceeds two pages, consider channelizing to sub-
stantive case file only those portions of statement which apply to
particular individual or organization. Of course, entire statement
should be filed in informant's subfile. This procedure should be
employed unless logical reason dictates otherwise. When preparing
lengthy channelizing memoranda reporting material of interest to other
offices, limit the number of copies prepared for each other such office
to two. Clearly indicate next to the name of the receiving office, the
number of the page containing information pertinent to that office "and
note on cover page that distribution of material to the receiving field

» ' office files is left to discretion of the receiving office. If the

4 channelizing memorandum includes names of individuals who merely
attended a meeting or gathering and played no important role, the

q - reporting office is to attach to the channelizing memorandum a one-

page memorandum listing the names of all individuals who were merely
in attendance and had no important function. The preparation and
distribution of the additional copies of the one-page attachment are
left to the discretion of the receiving office.
go Prior to any prosecution or administrative hearing, advise trial-
attorney that informant not only furnished information concerning
instant case but also provided other statements not pertinent to
ease at issue. Trial attorney will thus be prepared in event in~
formant testifies on direct examination or cross-examination that
he furnished information in addition to his testimony.
2. Recording written and oral information
&%. Written by informant
i May be in handwriting or hand printing of informant or typed. -
) 2 Original only should be submitted and informants should never
retain any copies or notes relating thereto. Continuously
check informants to see that they da not keep any notes or
copies.
(3) Prepare on paper devoid of any Bureau markings or identifica-
~ tion.
(4) Date when informant prepares statement should be placed at
top of statement.
(5) ALL information obtained by informants regarding each meeting
or separate activity in which they engage should be sub~-
: mitted in one statement.
(6) Informants should include in statements specific dates and ‘
places; purpose of meeting or activity being related; iden~ :
. tities of speakers and persons present, plus their known status

present. i
{7} Informant should identify statement by affixing his code name
immediately under the last written line on each page. Any cor-

LO7F-G . SECTION 107. SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES.

10. ‘Transfer of informants to other areas

a. Keep alert to possibility of transferring informants to areas needing
coverage through change in residence or employment.

b. Keep in mind overall coverage of organizations. If informant becomes
prominent and may be able to expand his field of activity beyond your
field division, encourage him to do so in order to provide wider cov-
erage for Bureau's work.

11. Action by informant when uncovered

a. If informant is uncovered by subversive elements, instruct him to de-
fend himself vigorously and demand proof of his informant activity.

b. Suspicion in many cases is directed to an informant without facts to
back it up and by bluffing informant may confuse issue to point where
his services may not be lost.

Gc. In some cases it may be necessary for informant to acquiesce to
charges of deviation from strict discipline of organization involved,

- and thus cast off suspicion.
12. Requests of informant to help defend others

a. If requested by Communist Party, or other interested parties to assist
in preparation of defense in subversive-type cases or handle assign-
ment where such information is readily available, informant should
tactfully decline.

b. ‘Such requésts should be reported immediately to contacting Agent and

- made matter of record. .

ce. If informant cannot avoid becoming involved, instruct him net to report
any information pertaining to defense plans or strategy.

ad. Promptly report any-such incident to Bureau.

e. If an informant is present in conversation between an attorney and
individual under criminal indictment, he should immediately leave,

If be is wnable to do so and jnadvertently learns of defense plans
or strategy, he is not to report the substance of any such
conversation to the FBI. Additionally, the informant is not to
engage in or report the substance of a conversation with a criminal
defendant dealing with the offense for which the defendant is
undér indictment,

13. Preparation for testifying

Contacting Agent must. condition informant to fact that someday knowledge

he possesses may be needed as evidence in court. Psychologically prepare

informant for fact that he may at future date be called upon to testify to
information he has furnished on security matters. Proper indoctrination
of informant is essential as Bureau must provide witnesses whenever

Department initiates prosecutions in security cases.

G. INFORMANTS! INFORMATION
1. General instructions re oral and written information
a. These instructions apply to security informants, potential security
informants, panel sources, security confidential sources, and
security sources of information.

be. Specific instructions must be given to informants concerning prepara~-

tion of statements containing their information,

ce, They should be submitted as quickly as possible after meeting or
activity.

d. Written statements should be submitted when possible. In sspionage
and foreign nationality matters written statements are usually
necessary only in those instances involving possible future prosecu-

‘ tion: (In the majority of oases diplomats or officials who are not
subject to prosecution are involved.)

e. Carefully scrutinize each, bearing in mind that if informant is called
upon to testify at a later date his statements will very likely be
introduced in court. .

f. Al information furnished by informants must be promptly reviewed,
recorded, indexed, evaluated, channelized, and all necessary action
taken. Form FD-306 may be used in lieu of channelizing memorandum if
desired, If so, prepare copies of FD-306 as needed for channelizing
and staple one copy to each copy of informant's statement being
channelized. Channelization should be noted on original FD-306 and
on all copies. [In those instances in which an informant reports that

an individual attended a meeting but took no active part therein and/or

ad.. Flash notice is to be placed by field with Identification Division
by submission of form FD-165, using informant's true name for each
informant who has fingerprints on file.

e. When informant is discontinued, retain flash notice for one year.
Insure that notice is canceled at that time by submission of form
FD-165 or advise Bureau as to why notice should be continued. If
fingerprints obtained solely for this purpose, remove fingerprints
from criminal file.

7. Control - statement of cooperation

a. Close control must be exercised over activities of informants and
double agents to obtain maximum results and prevent any possible
embarrassment to Bureau,

b. Obtain signed statement set out below when feasible and practical.
Where it is not practical to secure such signed statement from an
informant or double agent, advise Bureau of complete details. SAC
and Agent handling informant or double agent should determine appro-
priate time in informant's operation when statement should be com-

- pleted,

I; » have voluntarily agreed to cooperate with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in a matter affecting the
security of the United States. I consider it a patriotic
duty to so cooperate and agree to maintain this relation~
ship in strict confidence. I understand that I am not a
Federal employee and will not represent myself as such. TIT
further agres not to make any disclosure or exploit in any
way information which I may obtain or any activity in which

I may engage on behalf of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,

8. Execution of party questionnaires
Informants, particularly in Communist Party, often must execute party
questionnaires and in doing so should be instructed to be extremely
careful not to jeoparidze their position as informants, If necessary,
each item in questionnaire should be discussed with informant,

9. Informant's activity in organizations

a. Informants in organizations must be impressed with necessity of
carrying on normal activity, such as canvassing, sale, and dis-
tribution of literature, leaflets, etc.

b. When feasible, informants should be instructed to accept direction ;
from leaders; request instruction and interpretation of organiza~ ;
tion's precepts; request leaders to furnish sources for study
purposes; and enter discussions, not quietly sit back as observers. |

c. Changes in organization's conduct, policy, or strategy should be
reported on as they occur, Have informants give their opinions of
motivation behind such changes, but be certain opinions are labeled

- @s such.
_@. Informants must be encouraged to increase contacts within their orbit
in order to gain higher positions, but in such manner as to avoid
suspicion.

4. Contacts by Agents

a.

SECTION 107 Orcconrry INFORMANTS AND compro Ma: SOURCES,

Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where frequency
of contact is dependent on circumstances, informants should be con-
tacted as often as necessary, but at least one personal contact
should be made every two weeks. If such frequent contacts cannot be
established, obtain specific Bureau authority for exception to this
requirement.

During each contact, carefully review informant's activities since
previous contact and make certain informant has furnished all in-
formation which he has obtained since last contact.

Contacting Agent should not only collect information but direct
informant, be aware of his activities, and maintain such close
relationship that he knows informant's attitude towards Bureau.
Good judgment must prevail in handling informant to see he does

not become too familiar with Agent. Promptly advise Bureau of any
indication informant is wavering in Bureau relationship.
Arrangements for paying informant or personally contacting him must
be specific and no doubt should be left in minds of either Agent

or informant as to methods of payment, amount, place, and time.
Informants should use only public telephones in communicating with
contacting Agent and consideration should be given to furnishing
informants nonpublished office telephone number for emergency com-
munication. This rule is not practical in all espionage and
foreign nationality matters but should be followed where applicable.
Positive information received from informant should be. subject of
written statement by informant or memorandum prepared by contacting
Agent to be placed in informant's subfile and appropriately
channelized.

Record dates of all contacts, whether negative or positive, in
informant'ts administrative file. Memorandum or form FD-209 may be
used. If informant contacted frequently, one memorandum or form
may be used for several contacts.

Dates of negative contacts and file numbers of cases involved must
appear in informant's administrative file. Where file has more than
one subject, name of subject under inquiry should be noted. Do not
set forth title of case involved,

If positive information received from informant, show only dates of
contacts in informant's administrative file. Place positive informa-
tion in informant's subfile and appropriately channelize same.
Alternate Agent should be designated for contacts with informant
and should be thoroughly acquainted with informant so that contacts
may be handled by alternate Agent where necessary.

5. Checking reliability

a.
b.

Reliability of all active informants must be constantly checked.
Give consideration to use of any investigative technique deemed
necessary to be certain they are completely reliable and are fur-
nishing accurate, truthful information.

contrary exists, obtain and forward his fingerprints to Tdentifi-
cation Division if they are not on file there.

Tf informant refuses, do not force issue.

Forward informant's fingerprints as enclosure to FD-165 using

Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where contact is
maintained on a periodic basis dependent on circumstances, contact
potential informants personally at least once every two weeks.

Advise Bureau of progress being made at least every six months. Sub-
mit letters (FD-401) concerning potential informants who are not being
paid on Bureau authorization on UACB basis; include summary of infor-
mation furnished during past six months and certifications regarding
stability and indoctrination against disclosure. Follow form indicated
under § 1O7L, item 3b, below, except those items concerning payments.
Post record of all contacts with potential informants,

During contacts with potential informants, if it develops individual
does not have necessary capabilities, discontinue efforts.

Informants may raise a question concerning their position if it bacomes
known publicly they are affiliated with subversive organization. In
such case, he may be told that his cooperation is matter of record in
FBI and if some question arises concerning his loyalty we will consider
making facts of his cooperation known to his employer or to rasponsible
individuals. Before taking steps to advise anyone of potential infor-
mant's or informant's cooperation, obtain Bureau authority.

From first interview with potential informant through development and
until discontinued, use extreme caution at all times to be certain he is
not a plant.

When potential informant begins to furnish current information ana
otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, advise Bureau.

This communication must be personally initialed by SAC or ASAC

acting in his absence. Individual's background must be thoroughly
(qweviewed at this time, keeping in mind possibility of using inform—

ant as witness. If individual has any weaknesses, set forth safe-

guards being followed to insure security and prevent embarrassment
to Bureau.

Development of military personnel

Do not develop informants amonglactive duty|lmilitary personnel.

Contacts by designated Agents

Contacts with informant or potential informant should only be made by
Agent or Agents specifically designated to contact him.

Divulging information to informant

No information should be divulged to potential informant or informant
concerning any of Bureau's investigative activity other than that which

is essential to his proper operation.

Recording investigative activity

All investigative activity must be made matter of record in field office

Caution against divulging relationship

During initial development and consistently thereafter, impress upon
informant absolute necessity that he refrain from divulging his rela-
tionship with Bureau. These instructions must be properly phrased to
prevent possibility of Bureau's being accused of attempting to impose
censorship.

Developing additional background

During development of informant, additional data concerning his back~
ground should be continuously obtained from informant. Be alert for
data revealing he is mentally or emotionally unstable, or has some
personal problem which would make hima risk.

Indications of instability

Immediately furnish details of any indications of instability to Bureau,
with recommendations as to informant's continuance and comments as to
any steps being taken to prevent embarrassment to Bureau.

1, Assigning numbers
| @ a. All informants should be designated by permanent symbol number of
which Bureau must be advised. Once number assigned, it must not be
} subsequently reassigned to any other informant or source.

be. A Symbol number designation should be afforded to all individuals
from the time any step (generally the opening of an informant or
| source file) is taken to develop them as sources or informants.

. {Upon assigning a symbol number, Bureau should be immediately advised by
secure teletype of the symbol number, informant's true name, available
background information, and cover name, if assigned, for indexing purposes. |

) c. Individuals to whem permanent symbols assigned are not to be advised
of such symbols. .
ad. Gover name should be used by informant in signing his statements and
q in communications between informant and field office. Advise Bureau
of cover name.

6. Prefix of symbol number consists of appropriate field office teletype
abbreviation. Suffix of symbol number will consist of letter "S" for
security informant; letters "PSI" for potential security informants;
letters "CS" for confidential source.

' f. Although source may subsequently furnish information requiring change
. in designation (e.g., from security to criminal or to extremist, etc.),
number previously assigned will remain same; however, suffix is to
pe changed to appropriate letter or letters indicating this change
(N¥ 000-S to NY .000-C or to NY 000-E).

ge An asterisk should not be used to designate certain highly sensitive
informants or investigative techniques. Do not include asterisk
in reporting information from such sources.

2. Communications - use of symbols

a. After Bureau is advised of permanent symbol, in subsequent communica-

tions true name of informant should not be set forth; use symbol number.

[ be In all communications after initiallone, }Bureau and field office
file numbers for informant must be set forth.
c. In communications between offices, follow same procedure.

ad. Informants and sources entering another division

1) Active informants and sources entering another division on
temporary basis should be referred to in initial secure teletype
to interested office by true name and symbol number if necessary
for other division to know identity. Such a teletype should
not be routed to a Resident Agency. Office receiving such
teletype should make appropriate index cards for "Informants

and Sources in Other Divisions" index. Subsequent letters

between interested offices may then identify individual by symbol
number only. 7 .

(2) Individuals who leave division where they have been furnishing
information and do not plan to return should be immediately
discontinued, their symbol number, if any, should be cancelled,
and their true name used in all administrative correspondence,

(3} If informant is transferred to another office and remains active,
his identity must still be protected.

e. In communications concerning potential security informant when a
symbol number is not used, name of potential security informant

and abbreviation "PSI" shall be used; e.g., "John Doe, PSI."

f. Captions of communications concerning informants and sources should
contain @ precise character designation to identify the organization
With which they are most closely associated or on which they are
most capable of furnishing information (i.e., Security Matter -
Students for a Democratic Society or SM - SDS, Security Matter -
Young Socialist Alliance or SM - YSA, Security Matter - Communist

or SM~ C, etc.}. In espionage and foreign nationality matters,
caption of communication should also show character and country
designation (i.e., IS - R for Russia or IS - PO for Poland, etc.).
This facilitates routing at Bureau.

SECTION 107. SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES Lo7A-C

DEFINITIONS

L. Security informant
Individual actively engaged in obtaining and furnishing current informa-
tion on security or intelligence matters exclusively for Bureau whose
identity must be protected. Such person should be member or attend
meetings of subversive organization, or be in such position relative to
subversive organization that he is able to provide currant information
of value.

2. Potential security informant
Individual in position to become active in or closely connected with
subversive organization or intelligence activities and is making .
affirmative effort to obtain and furnish current information to Bureau.

3. Double agent
Person cooperating with, receiving assignments from, and performing tasks
for both foreign intelligence service and Bureau under FBI guidance

4. Confidential source
Individual who on confidential basis furnishes information available
through his present position. Examples would be: bankers and telephone
company employees. These individuals make no concerted effort in behalf
of Bureau but furnish information readily aveilable to them.

5. Panel source
Individual who is not involved in subversive group but who will attend
its public gatherings in behalf of FBI for intelligence purposes or as
potential witness

SOURCES OF POTENTIAL INFORMANTS
Informants should be developed on all organizations and individuals that are
inimical to internal security. Informants may be obtained through alertness
in course of normal investigative activity. Live informant coverage depends
for most part upon initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs.
For assistance in obtaining potential informants, following is suggested:
1. Evaluation of
a. Complainants or other persons interviewed in security matters
b. Subjects of security investigations who show disaffection, loss of
interest, inactivity, financial hardship, or other repudiation of
party Loyalty
ec. Personal friends and contacts of Bureau employees
ad. Sources of information, confidential sources, and contacts
2. Review of closed security files, reserve index, and files of former
security informants
3. Review factionalism section of file on Communist Party, USA. .
4. Consultation with present informants regarding indications of disaffec=
tion on part of subversive group members. They should not be informed as
to purpose of inquiry. : -
5. Review of files on communist front organizations looking for individuals
who have been associated with only one or two fronts or who attended only
a few meetings

BACKGROUND ITNQUIRIES ON INDIVIDUALS BEING CONSIDERED POR INFORMANT PURPOSES
When decision is made to consider an individual for informant purposes, conduct
background investigation. Extensive background investigation should not be
conducted until individual has been interviewed and it hes been determined he
is willing to assist Bureau. Obtain prior Bureau authority to interview when-
ever restrictions imposed in section 87, volume TIT, and section 105, volume IV,
of this manuel, relative to interviews apply. Background investigation should
include:

1. Check of field office files

2. Discreet canvass of logical informants

3. Inquiries of discreet nature concerning individual's personal history
(date and place of birth, etc.), patriotism, health, reliability,
stability, integrity, general reputation, present and past employments,
and business connections. Investigation must definitely establish that
in@ividuel can be used without danger of future embarrassment due
to instability or unreliability. Securing background information from
individuel is not sufficient; his background must be established by
investigation, including discreet inquiries among persons personally
acquainted with him.

4, Check of local credit and arrest records. [Limit cradit check of
individual to identifying information only (name, address, former
address, employment, former employment.) ] Submit FD-165 to Identification:
Division to obtain any record he may have and to place stop against
fingerprints if on file. .

5. Review armed services record if applicable.

6. Check draft status or status in armed forces reserve, .

7. Check domestic status and, if any marital difficulties, obtain details.

8, Persons being considered for use in espionage and foreign nationality
cases may present special problems which limit scope of investigation.
(See instructions re contact cases and deseco program, section 105,
volume IV, of this manual, ) However, where practical, cover above items.

Leads must be handled by auxiliary offices within 30 days. Investigation
must be completed prior to any request to guide, direct, or designate in~
dividual as potential security informant.

APPROVAL, INDOCTRINATION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL INFORMANTS

1. When background information obtained, transmit results to Bureau in same
numerical sequence set out in subsection C, and request authority to des-
ignate individual as Buréau~approved potential security informant and to
proceed with development. Submit by secure teletype (usually Nitel),

Be brief and concise. Do not submit on UACB basis. Include physical

description.

@. If the individual is a student, include separate paragraph clearly
setting forth the number of extremist and/or security informants,
the number of potential extremist and/or potential security in-
formants, and the number of panel sources currently being operated at
the particular college or university to which the request pertains.

2, After designation as Bureau-approved potential security informant, fol-
lowing matters should be made clear to him: |

a. His assistance is strictly voluntary and he is to understand there is
no coercion or intimidation involved. ; , “

b,. He is not and cannot consider himself employee or “undercover Agent"
of PBI. Seriousness of violating impersonation statutes must be
impressed upon him. .

c, His cooperation must be strictly confidential at all times and if
he should feel he cannot maintain this confidence, he should so
advise. There should be no doubt left in mind of potential informant
that his relationship must remain on confidential basis and if he
violates confidence he will be of no value and by so doing Bureau's
investigative activity may be jeopardized. If he has -special
problem which would require revealing his assistance to his wife or
other pertinent individual, this should be ascertained and appropriate .
recommendation made to Bureau. .

a. If potential informant is connected in any manner with labor union,
inform him that Bureau is not interested in employer-employee relation-
ships as such and is only concerned with obtaining information on
infiltration of unions by subversive elements.

Use of students

a. Students under age of 18 years are not to be developed as security
informants, potential security informants, or other types of security
sources in other than highly unusval circumstances. Under such —
circumstances, furnish complete justification to Bureau.:

b. Upon initial contact with prospective student informant or source,
‘individual should be tactfully requested to execute a brief signed writ-
ten statement for field file setting forth that this individual. has
voluntarily come forward to furnish information to FBI because of
his concern over individuals or groups that may be inimical to
interests of U. S. Government and that he understands FBI has no
interest in legitimate institution or campus activities.

Quarterly letters

(A. DEFINITIONS
[ 1. Security informant
[ Individual actively engaged in obtaining and furnishing current inf orma-
[ tion on security or intelligence matters exclusively for Bureau whose
if identity must be protected. Such person should be member or attend
[ meetings of subversive organization, or be in such position relative to
[ subversive organization that he is able to provide currant information
[ of value.

~ [ of Bureau but furnish information readily available to them.
{ 5. Panel source
[ Individual who is not involved in subversive group but who will attend
[ its public gatherings in behalf of FBI for intelligence purposes or as
potential witness
i
CB. SOURCES OF POTENTIAL INFORMANTS
[ Informants should be developed on all organizations and individuals that are
{ inimical to internal security. Informants may be obtained through alertness
[ in course of normal investigative activity. Live informant coverage depends
[ for most part upon initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs.
[ For assistance in obtaining potential informants, following is .suggested:
t 1. Hvaluation of
f a. Complainants or other persons interviewed in security matters
[ b. Subjects of security investigations who show disaffection, loss of
[ interest, inactivity, financial hardship, or other repudiation of
[ party loyalty
[ ec, Personal friends and contacts of Bureau employees

if security informants
[ 3. Review Pactionalism section of file on Communist Party, USA.
[ 4. Consultetion with present informants regarding indications of éisaffec-
[ tion on part of subversive group members. They should not be informed as
[ to purpose of inquiry.
[ 5. Review of files on communist front organizations looking for individuals
if who have been associated with only one or two fronts or who attended only
f a few meetings

[C. BACKGROUND INQUIRIES ON INDIVIDUALS BEING CONSIDERED FOR INFORMANT PURPOSES
[ When decision is made to consider an individual for informant purposes, conduct
f background investigation. Extensive background investigation should not be
[ conducted until individual has been interviewed and it has been determined he
{ is willing to assist Bureau. Obtain prior Bureau authority to interview when-
[ ever restrictions imposed in section 87, volume III, and section 105, volume IV,
of this manual, relative to interviews apply. Background investigation should
[ include:

numerical sequence set out in subsection C, and request authority to des~
ignate individual as Bureau-approved potential security informant and to
proceed with development. [Submit by secure teletype (usually Witel),

Be brief and concise.] Do not submit on UACB basis. Include physical

description.

setting forth the number of[extremist]Jand/or security informants,
the number of potential(extremist and/or potential security in-
formants, and the number cf panel sources currently being operated at
the particular college or university to which the request pertains.

After designation as Bureau-approved potential security informant, fol-

lowing imatters should be made clear to him:

a. His assistance is strictly voluntary and he is to understand there is
no coercion or intimidation involved.

of FBI. Seriousness of violating impersonation statutes must be
impressed upon him, .

c. His cooperation must be strictly confidential at a11 times and if
he should feel he cannot maintain this confidence, he should so-
advise. Phere should be no doubt left in mind of potential informant
that his relationship must remain on confidential basis and if ‘he
violates confidence he will be of no value and by so doing Bureau's
investigative activity may be jeopardized. If he has special
problem which would require revealing his assistance to his wife or
other pertinent individual, this should be ascertained and appropriate
recommendation made to Bureau.

&@. I? potential informant is connected in any manner with labor union,
inform him that Bureau is not interested in employer-employee relation~
ships as such and is only concerned with obtaining information on
infiltration of unions by subversive elements.

@. If potential informant is student, teacher, or has any similar
relations with school, college, or university, in initial interview
and subsequent handling, follow current instructions concerning in-
vestigations on campuses. .

Do not interview female potential informants in their homes or apartments

unless necessary and any such interviews should be conducted by two

[W. FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE (FCI) ASSETS
This subsection deals with the development and operation of human assets,
a field referred to as Human Intelligence or HUMINT. FCI assets are to
be handled exclusively under this subsection, except for the administra-
tive instructions pertaining to informant indices, and monthly statistical
letters, set out in Part I; such exceptions are noted herein.
1. Definitions
FCI assets fail into two categories: informative assets and operational
assets.
ae Informative assets (IA)
Individuals in position to furnish continuing information relative
to the location, overt activities, and personalities of the targets
of FBI investigations, @ege, doorman, garage attendant, neighbor,
tradesman, rental agent, building superintendent, fellow employee,
social contact, business contact, banker, ethnic community
source, etce; or individuals who have left or openly defected from
a foreign country and can furnish information of intelligence
value. An IA is not actively involved in an intelligence operation
as such; should he become so involved he then could become an OA.
b. Operational assets (OA)
Individual actively involved in intelligence operations.

!

OI ES ORI

This category includes but is not limited to the following
individuals:
Defector-in~place: A foreign official who overtly continues
to work for his government and covertly provides information
to us of intelligence value. A defector-—in-place will in
most instances be connected with a foreign government's
intelligence service;

Double agent: An OA who is cooperating with a foreign intel-
ligence service on our behalf and under our control;

Asset under development: Individuals selected for their
apparent attractiveness to foreign intelligence services whom
we attempt to put in contact with such services for operational
exploitation, sometimes known as a "dangle operation"; or
individuals already in contact with a foreign intelligence
service who have an immediate potential for development into
double agents.

Adoption of the generic term OA does not preclude use of the

specific terms, eeg., double agent, where applicable, in official

communications.

~ 2. Objectives of OA
~ a. Penetration
, Penetration of legal and illegal networks, identification of
intelligence personnel and targets; collection of information
regarding methods of operations; collection of positive intelligence.

be Control
-of information foreign intelligence services obtain;
-of recruitment, by creating Bureau-controlled OAs;
-of foreign operations, by keeping foreign intelligence services
occupied handling our OAs.
ce Collection of evidence for prosecution
d. Deception (Disinformation)
Passing inaccurate or accurate information designed to cause foreign
intelligence services to draw conclusions or initiate action to
their disadvantage and/or to U. S. advantage.
e. Neutralization: to provide basis for persona non grata (PNG) action,
exclusion, arrest or other disruptive action.
f. Collection by OA of personality characteristics data on foreign
officials for purpose of defection analysis.
3. Individuals to be considered as OAs
ae Foreign officials in a position to furnish information of intel-
ligence value. An intelligence officer (IO) is, of course, the
most valuable OAe An official who is not an IO, while of lesser
value, is still a highly desirable OA because of the positive
intelligence and information on the personalities and activities
of ‘other officials that he can provide.
be Agents of foreign intelligence services. When these individuals
are identified, and the prospect and value of recruiting them
outweighs any prosecutive potential, they should be seriously
considered for development as OAs.
ce Contacts of foreign officials. When contacts of foreign officials
are identified as being of interest to a foreign intelligence
service, we should attempt to enlist their cooperation and direct
them against that intelligence service. ©
d. Individuals who are particularily attractive to a foreign intel-
ligence service. Our objective is to determine the specific
interests of foreign intelligence services or individual IOs, and
to then recruit asset(s) who would appear to that service or IO to
satisfy their needs. Such assets must have potential for operation
within a reasonably expected period of time.
ee Former assets who currently offer potential for exploitation.
4. Restrictions ‘
FBIHQ authority is required prior to conducting detailed background
investigation of any of the following individuals as an FCI asset,
whether IA or OA. Of course, some investigation must initially be
conducted, without disclosing our interest, to sufficiently identify
the individual and generally assess his potential, so that FBIHQ can
conduct a meaningful indices search and make an intelligent evaluation
of the risks versus value involved.
ae Individual under 21 years of age
be Official or employee of the United Nations or other public inter- ;
national organizations of a governmental or quasi-governmental a
nature
ce Official or employee of foreign diplomatic establishment or ,

name will be furnished to military intelligence component at
| headquarters level and to FBI field divisions. Every 6 months
thereafter, as long as the FBI has continuing operational interest
in the asset, an LHM captioned with code name should be transmitted
to FBIHQ, by routing slip captioned with informant's symbol number.
The LHM is to contain a statement that the asset continues to be
of operational use to the FBI, and a statement detailing any
difficulties encountered in control or direction of the asset or
| a statement that no such difficulties exist.

NOTE: Generally, the U. S. Armed Forces may not be utilized to
enforce the civilian criminal law; however, they may be utilized
for foreign counterintelligence purposes. In foreign counterintel-
ligence investigations in which there is a possibility of criminal
prosecution, use of military personnel as assets might jeopardize
successful prosecution, and all such cases must be discussed in
detail with FBIHQ prior to utilization of such military assets.

"SECRET - NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"

Development of personnel of foreign diplomatic establishment or
international organization

Whenever it becomes desirable to develop an official or employee of a
foreign diplomatic establishment or government, or of a public inter-
national organization of a governmental or quasi-governmental nature,
who is not a national of a hostile country, e.g., Canadian, Argentinian,
or U. S. United Nations Secretariat (UNSEC) employee to target against
Soviet—bioc UNSEC employee, FBIHQ asks for authorization from State
Department to conduct background investigation. FBIHQ must inform
State Department of the proposed asset's name, rank or position, nation-
ality, current place of assignment, and, generally, the type of use

we intend to make of the asset. After authorization has been received
and background investigation completed, if individual offers asset
potential,submit results of background investigation in LHM and in
cover communication request authority to interview. FBIHQ will then
request authorization from State Department to interview.

Development

The development of assets depends on the individual circumstances of
each situation. No rigid procedural steps or contact schedules can

be imposed which will uniformly apply to all cases; however, the
development should proceed with the objective of obtaining valuable
results as quickly as feasible, consistent with maintaining the asset's
security, credibility, and confidence, and with developing the asset's
potential to its fullest.

Opening of asset files

Open a 134 file for all individuals at the time they are first con-
sidered for development as assets. This file should consist of two parts:
a main file which will contain all identifying data, results of back-
ground investigation, personal status data, and administrative data;

and a subfile which will contain at least one copy of all information
provided by asset. The asset is not to be identified, beyond his symbol
number, in subfdile.

Maintain files of all active assets as pending. Utilize FD-238 as
unserialized top document in main file.

Assignment and tickler cards must not reflect name of asset; use symbol
and/or file number.

Maintenance of FCI asset files and indices

Maintain ali FCI asset files, pending and closed, under lock and key
under personal supervision of SAC, ASAC, or employee designated by SAC.

Files of FCI assets will be included in calculation of delinquencies
in monthly administrative report.

FCI asset indices will be maintained according to the administrative
instructions set out under section 107 J, part I, of this manual.

10. Symbol numbers
Assign a symbol number to all individuals when first considered for
development as asset. The symbol number is to consist of two-letter
prefix identifying the office, a numerical sequence number (which
will never be reassigned to another asset or informant), and suffix
which describes the type of asset, e.ge, NY 1001-OA (or IA}. The
numerical sequence is to be the same as that used for all other
informants, eeg., potential security informant, security informant,
criminal informant, etc. The suffix may change if the nature of the
information provided changes, e.g., from IA to OA. Submit identity
of asset and symbol number assigned to FBIHQ via coded "Nitel"; this
is the only communication ever in which both asset's true name and
symbol number are to appear together. Assets must not be informed
of their symbol numbers.
11. Captions
In administrative communications dealing solely with asset, indicate
in caption the character and the country concerning which the asset
is reporting, e.g., NY 1001-OA, IS-R (Russia).
12. Background inquiries and interviews
ae Informative asset
Based on the type of information the IA can provide, the nature
and extent of contact with him, and the IA's relationship with
the target:
(1) Conduct sufficient background investigation to satisfy the
SAC as to the IA's stability, suitability, reliability, and
potential. For example, a more detailed background investi-
gation is required for a social or business contact than for
a doorman or building superintendent. A minimal background
investigation should include appropriate police and field
offices' indices checks.
(2) Request search of FBIHQ indices.

[ee ee eee ee ee Se ee ee ee ee ee eee ee ee ee

(3) Check NCIC.

(4) Submit FD-165 for search of FBIHQ identification records;
make no reference to individual as IA on FD-165. Also utilize
FD-165 to place stope

(5) Outside of the restrictions set out in 4. above, interview
IA prospect on SAC authority.

be Operational asset

When an individual appears to have OA potential conduct the fol-

lowing background investigation commensurate with OA's security:

(1) Obtain pertinent data on OA'ts personal history (date and
place of birth, nationality and citizenship, social security
number or other identifying numbers, family status, names of
immediate family, past and present residences, employments, etc.),
and other data such as physical description, patriotism, health,
reliability, stability, integrity, reputation, and business
connections.

(2) Check appropriate police and field offices' indices.

(3) Request search of FBIHQ indices.

(4) Check NCIC.

"SECRET ~ NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"

(5) Submit FD-165 for search of FBIHQ identification records;
make no reference to individual as OA on FD-165; and also
utilize FD-165 to place stop.

(6) If applicable, check armed services records, both at Military
Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, Missouri, and at Defense
Central Index of Investigations, Ft. Holabird, Maryland.

(7) Canvass logical sources, commensurate with OA'ts security.

(8) Upon completion of above investigation submit results to FBIHQ
via coded teletype, preferably "Nitel," and interview UACB.

ce All leads to auxiliary offices must be sent and replied to, via
coded teletype, preferably "Nitel," under caption utilizing asset's
true name, followed by "IS-(country)." Do not set out asset's
symbol number. Do not send copies of such leads of IAs to FBIHQ.

Leads must be covered within 45 days; office of origin notify

auxiliary offices of this time limit when setting out leads.

13. Authority to operate assets
IAs are approved and operated on SAC authority. Inform FBIHQ via
coded "Nitel" when SAC approval given, and type of information IA
can provide. OAs are approved and operated on FBIHQ authority.
After interview of OA submit results of interview via coded "Nitel"
requesting FBIHQ approval to operate. Detail OA'ts potential and your
contemplated use of OA.

In exceptional cases, when the results of the interview and details
of the OA's potential and contemplated use are voluminous, the practi-
cality of "Nitel"™ and the relative security of the mails should be
balanced against the sensitivity of the information and the security
of the asset. Where the former factors prevail, submit summary by
"Nitel" and full results and details by letter or airtel.

14. Contact with assets
Contact should be maintained commensurate with maximum productivity,
security, and development of asset's further potential. If an asset
has not been contacted for a period of 45 days, a memorandum to the
SAC must be directed to the asset's main file stating the reason(s)
why no contact was made.

15. Confidentiality of relationship
Emphasize to all assets that the effectiveness of the FBI's investi-
gation, and in some instances his own personal security, depend on
both sides maintaining the confidentiality of the relationship. If the
asset feels he must disclose this relationship to another, eeg., wife,
parent, employer, etc., or circumstances develop in which asset requests
FBI to disclose the relationship to another, e.g., to an employer
threatening dismissal of asset because of his affiliation with certain
individuals or groups, notify FBIHQ with recommendation to disclose
relationship and continue under these conditions or to terminate
relationship with or without disclosing relationship, and reasons
for recommendation.

Do not disclose to asset any information not essential to his operation.

"SECRET - NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"

Reliability of assets

Reliability of all assets must be constantly checked. If any doubt
exists concerning asset, give consideration to use of various inves-
tigative techniques to insure asset is completely reliable and is
furnishing accurate information.

Assignment of pseudonyms

In sensitive cases, where necessary; if asset will sign reports or
receipts; or if asset is an OA receiving operational funds from a
foreign intelligence service or payment from the U. S. which requires
bookkeeping records, assign pseudonym for these purposes.

Recording of information received from asset

When recording information from any asset in a communication prepared
for dissemination, characterize the asset either as one "with whom
contact has been insufficient to determine reliability," or as one
“who has furnished reliable information in the past.'

ae Oral information

(1) Information pertaining to asset's personal status is recorded
in 134 main file, e.g., marital difficulties, change of
employment, change of residence.

(2) Information pertaining to operational administrative matters
is recorded in asset's 134 subfile. When this data, e.g+,
location of meet sites, times of meets, any data which tends
to identify asset, is furnished to FBIHQ, it should not be
included in communications prepared for dissemination, but
in cover pages. When the asset is a member of the military,
submit, in addition to the communication for dissemination
described immediately above, a communication for dissemination
containing all operational administrative details for the
information of the asset's service.

(3) Information of intelligence value should be submitted to FBIHQ
via appropriate communication, and, if of interest to other
U. S. agencies or friendly foreign services, should be sub-
mitted to FBIHQ in form suitable for dissemination.

(4) Execute and maintain form FD-209 in asset's main file concern-
ing contacts with asset. If contacts produced information of
intelligence value, record only date of contacts; if negative,
record as suche

be Written information

(1) Written information prepared by asset, or by FBI SA for
signature of asset, pertaining to operational activities
(not a written report passed by asset to his principal)
must be dated at the top of page one and signed at the bottom
of each numbered page by the asset using his pseudonym. This
material may be maintained as an attachment to a serialized
memorandum in the asset's subfile (punched holes are allowed),
or in a la section of the asset's 134 subfile.

(2) Information received in this manner should be devoid of FBI
identification, block or time stamps, serialization number
or other administrative markings.

(3) Only the original need be maintained; asset must not keep
a copys

AND FOREIGN COUNTBRINTELLIGENCE ASSETS ]

"SECRET - NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"

(4) Any corrections, changes, erasures, additions, or deletions
on original must be identified by asset using his pseudonym
initials beside it.

(5) Handling FBI SA must not make any changes on the original
or permit his name to be recorded therein.

(6) Written information pertaining to operational activities
should not include administrative matters pertaining to
asset's personal status.

(7) Handle recording of written information and contact with
asset in same manner as detailed under recording of oral
information.

19. Channelization of information of intelligence value received from the’
asset
Important factor in channelizing information of intelligence value
received from the asset to substantive case files is the security of
the asset.

Limit information in communication sent to substantive file to only
that necessary for that case; ieee, do not send one comprehensive
communication to several substantive files if to do so might compromise
source or other individual. (Be aware that some of our documents are
being made available in response to subpoenas, and the court is some-
times not allowing excision of material not pertinent to case in
question. Consequently, other individuals or operations can be. "blown!"
by revealing one such comprehensive memo.) ;
ae Extract information of value received from asset and channelize to
substantive case files either inter- or intra-office by separate
communications under substantive case captions.
be A copy of all channelizing communications must be maintained in an-
asset's subfile.
20. Passage of documents, written report or oral information, to hostile
foreign intelligence .
Type of information to be passed depends on circumstances of particular
operation, interests of involved foreign intelligence service, the
credible access of the OA and the time element involved.

Great care should be given to the selection of information to be passed
to insure the operation accrues to the overall benefit of the U. S.
ae Authority for passage
FBIHQ authority required for passage of all classified information
and unclassified information prepared for limited use by concerned \
Federal and local governments, not intended for public consumption. {

Above FBIHQ authority applies to passage of documents, written
reports, and oral information.

SAC authority required for passage of material prepared by commer-
cial concerns, Federal, and local governments for public distribution.
Examples are: newspaper and magazine articles, pamphlets and
brochurés, photographs, background information on companies and
organizations. If there is any doubt that material selected to be
passed is not in the best interest of the U. S., submit material

to FBIHQ for clearance; e«g., see Example (1) following.

b. Clearance requirements for information to be passed under FBIHQ
authority
Submit original and 9 copies of LHM to FBIHQ bearing appropriate
classification via cover communication with appropriate caption.
Leave LHM uncaptioned; FPBIHQ will insert code name caption.

The first paragraph of the LHM should read: “It is requested that
clearance be granted for passage in this operation of the following
items to a representative of (name of foreign intelligence service)."

If the information to be passed is a document, set forth an adequate
description of it in the LHM.

Examples:
(1) Article entitled "Moon Rockets," prepared by physicist
John Doe, January, 1972, issue of ™ »' publication
of American Rocket Society.
(2) Air Force Training Manual captioned " 3" dated July, 1972,
classified "Secret."
In addition, also submit to FBIHQ, if possible, a true copy of document
for review which will be returned after clearance by FBIHQ is obtained.

If the information to be passed is a written report prepared by OA,
set forth report verbatim in the LHM.

If the information to be passed is oral, set forth oral information
verbatim in the LHM.

If more than one item of information in any form is to be passed,
number each item in the LHM.

The last paragraph of the LHM should contain the sentence: "The above
data should not be further disseminated."

Upon receipt of LHM, FBIHQ will submit to appropriate authorities and

request clearancee Reply will be promptly furnished to field.

ce Notification to FBIHQ of passage of document, written report, or
oral information which required clearance
After passage, submit original and 9 copies of uncaptioned LHM
bearing appropriate classification via cover communication with
appropriate caption. FBIHQ will insert code name caption. In
LHM refer to LHM which requested clearance. LHM should merely
state, "On (date) our source transmitted the information detailed
in referenced memorandum to (name of foreign intelligence service)."

If referenced memorandum detailed more than one item, do not list
the items unless one or more was not passed. In such an instance
list only those items that were passed.

The last paragraph of the LHM should contain the following sentence,
"The above data should not be further disseminated."

d. Administrative handling of documents, written reports, and oral
information selected for passage
(1) Documents and written reports
Field offices should retain a copy of document or written
report passed which would be identified by OA as a true copy
of item passed by him. No other marks, identifying data,
staple or punch holes should be placed on field office copy.

When submitting document or written report to FBIHQ, identify
it, in cover communication, as the actual item which will be
passed or a copy.

To insure that the actual document to be passed is not con-
taminated by fingerprints of FBI personnel, maintain in plastic
envelope when being handied in field office or when submitted
to FBIHQ.

Documents obtained by FBIHQ or other field offices from conm-
mercial concerns or other government agencies which will be
passed will be handled in similar fashion.

If copy of document is maintained on permanent basis by
preparing concern or agency and available at a later date,
no need exists to submit copy to FBIHQ or to maintain in
field office file. If copy not maintained on permanent basis,
a copy should be retained in field office file.
(2) Oral information
Oral information passed must be recorded in a signed statement @
or FD-302.
Purpose for preserving documents and written reports is for evidence
in event of prosecution, persona non grata action, expulsion, etc.
21. Oral information received from debriefing asset

Oral information received upon debriefing an asset (ise., not necessarily

pertaining to information passed) must be recorded in a signed statement

or FD=302~6
22- Coverage of OA meets with foreign intelligence officer, co-opted worker,
or agent.

Coverage of these meets is required except when prohibited by security

or other overriding factors.
a. To cross-check the OA.- We must be as certain as possible that the OA
is reporting details of his meets accurately.

b. To verify identification of principal or agent and to gather infor-
mation about modus operandi.

.Ce Consider use of photography and other technological surveillance
techniques to provide data for improving future CI operations or
improving chances for success of official actions, eeg., prosecution,
persona non grata action.

Be aware that these meets are often covered by the principal's intel-
ligence service using photography, radio intercepts, and possible
electronic surveillance.

"SECRET - NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"

Disinformation

The passage of deceptive information by an OA is a complex operation
which requires detailed planning and coordination between field office
and FBIHQe This technique should be employed only in OA operations
in which the foreign intelligence service has apparently accepted the
bona fides of the OA, when the benefit will clearly outweigh the risk
to the overall OA operation.

OA cover story

Be aware that a foreign intelligence principal may interrogate an OA
in great detail as to how he secured his information, his family
situation, his modus operandi, motivation, etc. Handling FBI SA must
adequately prepare an OA for this probability. The most credible
cover story is the one which involves the least fabrication.

Unless security or other considerations dictate otherwise, the OA
should personally obtain the information he passes.

Receipt of money or property by OA

Impress upon each OA that money or property received from a foreign
intelligence principal or agent must be turned over to the FBI since
retention of this money would put the OA in technical violation of
Federal statutes, and this money may be used as evidence or exhibit.
Compensation to the OA from the FBI for his cooperation is to be
handled separately. Nominal or personal gifts, necessary for the OA's
security and to maintain his relationship with the principal, may be
given back to the OA by his handling FBI SA, following FBIHQ approval.
Consider the desirability and feasibility of obtaining a signed state-
ment from each OA reflecting his understanding of this requirement.
The obtaining of such a statement is not mandatory, but desirable.

Department attorneys have advised that, while it is not necessary to
preserve that actual currency received by an OA, it is highly desirable
to do so in cases in which prosecution could ensue. Whether or not the
actual currency is retained, obtain a written statement from the OA
describing the currency received by denomination, series number, and
serial number; and also make an independent record of such currency.

The above instructions are not to be interpreted to require the im-

pounding of funds paid to an OA by a foreign government or foreign

intelligence service for goods or services rendered by the OA in

legitimate, business transactions.

Payments to FCI assets - either OA or IA

ae When deemed necessary and expedient, each SAC is authorized to
expend up to $400 to develop FCI assets. This money may be used
to pay for services and/or expensese This authority is renewable
by FBIHQ if the initial $400 has been expended. Blue slip re-
claiming payments from FBIHQ need not summarize information
obtained since proliferation of this information could possibly
jeopardize asset's security.

be FBIHQ authority
(1) If FCI asset is of such continuing value to justify regular
payments, such payments must be approved by FBIHQ.
(2) When initially requesting regular payment, submit evaluation
via coded "Nitel™ in the following order:
(a) Amount paid to date, broken down into expenses and
services
(b) Number of contacts with handling FBI SA since last
evaluation
(c) Evaluation of stability and reliability
(d) Concise summary of most valuable information furnished
since last evaluation
(e) Miscellaneous - changes in personal status, residence,
employment, personal problems, etc., since last evaluation
(f) SAC recommendations for authority to pay asset for next
six-month period; specify amount to be authorized for
services and amount for expenses
(3) Continuation request should be made two weeks in advance of
expiration of authority.
(4) Submit an interim request for increase in regular payments
authorized via coded "Nitel," with full justification.
ce Receipts

When payments are made either on SAC authority or FBIHQ authority,

obtain receipts whenever possible. If receipt cannot be obtained,

set forth circumstances on blue slip at time reimbursement is claimed.

(1) Receipts should be self-sufficient so that, if it becomes
necessary to introduce receipts in evidence, they will not
relate to other documents or files.

(2) Receipts should show:

a) Date when payment was made

(b) Period for which made when asset is paid on period basis

(c) Total amount paid broken down into separate amounts for
services and expenses

(d) Name of FBI SA making payment

(e) Signature of asset receiving money using pseudonym assigned

(3) Receipts are not to be witnessed.

(4) If necessary to make corrections on receipts, they must be
initialed by asset and not by FBI SA.

(5) When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of expenses
to FBIHQ, staple them directly to blue slip so that all infor-
mation on receipt can be read without detaching it from blue
slip.

27. Evaluation of FCI assets
ae OA

Whether OA is paid (under either FBIHQ or SAC authority) or unpaid,

submit coded "Nitel" every six months evaluating OA according to the

format of 26. be (2). If the OA has been paid during the preceding
six-month period, merely set out the amount paid during that period
L (under 26. be (2) (a)).

Income tax returns

ae Inform assets who receive compensation for their services to FBI
that such compensation must be reported as income when filing an
income tax return.

b. FBI income should be set forth on Federal income tax return,
form 1040, as income received from other sources for personal
services rendered through a private enterprise or similar general
term applicable to asset's position and station in life.

ce If asset is self-employed and files Schedule C as self-employed
individual, it may be possible to include his FBI income with his
self-employed income from other sources without revealing connection
with FBI.

d. If asset cannot report payments received from FBI for services
without jeopardizing his security, such payments will be subject
to 20 percent withholding tax. There are three categories in which
taxes will not be withheld from payments to FCI assets:

(1) For reimbursement of expenses

(2) Under SAC authority

(3) To assets who have been able to report FBI income on their
Pederal tax returns without jeopardizing their security or
without challenge from Internal Revenue Service. Each office
has detailed instructions and exhibits concerning procedure
to be followed in handling and control of money withheld.

e. When asset or former asset is considered as potential witness in
FBI case, determine whether he paid Federal and state taxes on
income he received from FBI for his services. If such taxes have
not been paid, obtain all pertinent details and submit recommenda-
tions to FBIHQ for handling situation.

Receipt of unemployment compensation

State law may require all applicants for unemployment compensation to

list all sources of income. Payment of out-of-pocket expenses need

not be listed as income when applying for unemployment compensations;

however, payment for services must be listed. FBIHQ should be consulted
in each case where this situation arises.

31. Corrective action on false information

When it is determined that current asset or former asset has fur-
nished false information, promptly inform FBIHQ of complete facts.
Set forth your suggestion relative to wording to be used in
describing asset in future, such as "source of known unreliability"
or "source who has furnished both reliable and unreliable information
in the past.'

FBIHQ will advise which designation to use; the field office will
then proceed with review of all data furnished by asset and label
information from him accordingly.

All communications containing information from asset which have
been sent to FBIHQ, FBI field offices, and to outside agencies

must be corrected. Corrective action should be taken by letter.
Identify cases individually by title and character, together with
dates of communications containing information from asset. Correc-
tive letters should refer to specific report, page number, and
change to be made. Amended pages should not be prepared unless you
are so instructed by PBIHQ in accordance with instructions of

part II, section 4, Manual of Rules and Reguiations.

Instruct each field office which has made further dissemination of
asset's information to follow instructions set forth above.

Set up control file regarding this corrective action and upon
completion of same submit to FBIHQ final letter under asset's .
caption identifying each case by title, character, FBIHQ file number
if known, and date of communication. This letter will be used to
check all pertinent FBIHQ files to see that necessary corrective
action has been taken.

If necessary, other field offices which have received information
from asset should also be requested to submit summary letters
showing what corrections have been made.

Occasionally, former asset through his speech, writings, or actions
raises a doubt as to his reliability subsequent to time he was
asset. It is not necessary to go back and change evaluation of
information attributed to that former asset in absence of definite
indication that he furnished unreliable information while he was
asset.

Dissemination of information from assets of questionable reliability

Advise FBIHQ under asset's symbol number caption when services of asset
are discontinued.

such activities, the Bureau will consider placing him in contact

with a reliable publisher, but it must be made clear to the inform

ant that the Bureau will not sponsor or endorse any  pook or publi-~
cation which he elects to write.

All payments to discontinued security informants and confidential
sources must be made on a strict ¢.0,d. basis. Obtain Bureau author
ity before making any such payments, In requesting Bureau authority

for payments of this type, submit complete details as to the infor-
mation furnished by the discontinued informant or source in the past

and what is to be expected of the informant or source in the future,
Once an informant is exposed in any manner whatsoever he is no longer

to be carried as a concealed source in reports or memoranda, His

true name is to be set forth, together with descriptive data.

When an office receives information concerning,or obtains information
from, an ex-informant, copies of memoranda prepared must be furnished

to the office which originally handled the informant so that the file

of the ex-informant will be as complete as possible,

When an informant has been discontinued for cause, such as unreliabil-—
ity, he should not be contacted in the future for information, If

such &4n individual furnishes information it should be accepted, but in
setting out the information in reports or communications use the
individual's true name, together with an appropriate description of his
reliability.

Renove flash notice per section F,[6.]

Repeated use of the same a@iscontinued informant as a witness at security
trials and hearings should be avoided, Make an all-out effort to develop
witnesses who can furnish the same testimony as that expected of previously
used witnesses, Advise Bureau of any indication by Government attorneys
that an informant—witness who has previously testified will be called
upon for testimony at a subsequent trial or hearing and furnish your
comments concerning possibility of supplanting the testimony of individual
involyed. Submit communication under appropriate case character.

“Every effort should be made to prevent a discontinued informant from

becoming involved in situations which may prove embarrassing to informant

or the Government. Immediately after he testifies for the first time, a

serious talk should be had with informant by the SAC in the presence of

the Agent who handled the informant, This interview should be conducted

in the field office and informant told that:

ao He will no longer be operated by the Bureau

be Since he is a public figure, he will probably be contacted by
representatives of the press, radio, and television for interviews and
appearances

Cc. He may be sought as a witness by congressional committees, by the
Immigration and Naturalization Service, and by state authorities

a. (Firmly stress.) In connection with such interviews and appearances,
informant must continue to be factual and truthful and must not build
up or embellish the statements, for if he does so he will wind up in
Serious trouble.

effectiveness,

Be alert to the possibilities of former informant being contacted by
representatives of publicity media and as a witness by congressional
committees, INS, and state authorities, It will be the SAC's respon-—
sibility to know when a former informant is scheduled or is likely to
appear at a hearing or make a public appearance of any kind. Prior
thereto in each instance, former informant must be contacted and instruce
tions above set forth reiterated by Agent who handled the informant.
Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to the truth and make
certain he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he
will be subjected to harassment, criticism, possible libel, slander, or
other criminal actions. If he inquires as to whether he should appear
or testify or otherwise cooperate with any public or private individual
or agency, advise him he must make that decision himself, but if he has
appeared as a Government witness in a case which has not been finally
. adjudicated and decides in the affirmative, he should contact the USA
for instructions; Advise Bureau of any such situations and the results
of any interviews conducted. |. ;

R, FURNISHING OF INFORMANTS TO IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INns}
i. INS conducts investigations of alien communists as required under the

Immigration Act of 10-16-18, as amended. INS, in order to enforce this

statute, must obtain evidence to prove that certain aliens, due to

their membership in certain groups, are undesirable and deportable or

subject to denaturalization. . fo ; .

- 2, Cooperate fully with INS in these cases and make efforts consistent
with your own cases and interests to make available information and
witnesses where possible. : :

3. In this regard, if contacted by INS inquiring for informants and you
have a discontinued informant or one who would be of assistance to
INS and whose loss would not affect your work, furnish his identity to

. and advise as to whether or not his identity may be disclosed to INS.

5. Exercise care in recommending informants for disclosure to INS so that
you will not find yourself without proper coverage,

Se Before any informant is turned over to INS, obtain informant's per—
mission,

CS. CORRECLIVE ACTION[ON FALSE INFORMATION]
' 2e When it is determined that an informant or ex-informant furnished false
information while an informant, advise Bureau by airmail of complete

facts.
2. Set forth your suggestion relative to wording to be used in describing
the informant in future, such ase “informant of known unreliability®

or “informant who has furnished both reliable and unreliable information

P, SIGNING OF LOYALTY OATHS, AFFIDAVITS, AND STATEMENTS

1. Every effort should be made to guide security informants away from
situations requiring them to sign or fill out loyalty oaths or forms.

2. Informants should be cautioned to keep the contacting Agent fully
advised of any situation wherein they might be required to sign such 2
form,

3. <Advise Bureau promptly of 211 such situations which cannot be avoided.

4. The Bureau will consider as a last resort advising another agency of
the informant's relationship with the Bureau, together with pertinent
facts concerning the informant's activity; however, such situations
must be kept to a minimum in view of the obvious dangers to the
informant,

5, Each such situation must be carefully considered and Bureau is to be
advised as promptly as possible, together with an appropriate recom
mendation for proposed action,

6, In no instance should you permit an informant to sign a loyalty oath

' in the negative.

Q. DISCONTINUED INFORMANTS
1, When the services of an informant are discontinued, mark the name card
{ “cancelled. Destroy the symbol card. Never destroy the name card.

2. Refile the name card in numerical order by symbol number in the symbol
number index, The symbol number shall not be subsequently reassigned
to another informant. If a discontinued informant or a discontinued

- potential security informant or confidential source to whom a symbol
number was once assigned later is reactivated, remove his name card from
the symbol number index, mark it reactivated with appropriate date, note
thereon type of information he will now be furnishing, and refile it

- alphabetically in the name card section of the index.

3, When a potential security informant or confidential source is discon—
tinued and a permanent symbol has not been assigned, destroy the alpha—
betical index card.

4, Advise the Bureau when a potential informant or informant “is “discontinued

- and the reason therefor.

5. Advise the Bureau as to whether or not the informant is willing to testify
in open court or before administrative hearing boards. The identity of
all cases of security of Government employees type in which the informant

. has furnished information must be ascertained and the Bureau advised in
t compliance with section[69F, volume III, of this manual.] ©

6, Review the informant's file to determine if any copies or summaries of
correspondence between the Bureau and the field relating to the Depart—
ment's interest in using the informant for testifying when he becomes
available as a witness are contained therein. In those cases in whish it
is evident the Department has indicated a desire to consider the inform—
ant further when he becomes available, advise the Bureau in each such
substantive case, except in those cases in which it is obvious the statute
of limitations has run or the case has been adjudicated. This exception
does not apply to security of Government employees cases, When all
‘above action is completed, advise the Bureau.

7. A statement shall also be made to the effect that the measures to con-
trol informants, set out in 8 below, have been considered and recommenda—
tions shall be made when it appears that such are warranted.

8, When the services of an informant are discontinued, maintain close con-—
tact with him so that the informant will look to the Bureau for advice
and counsel prior to taking any action which would be against the Bureau's
best interests, When an informant is discontinued, determine whether
he has plans for writing a book, magazine or newspaper article, or other-—
wise publicizing his activity. If so, he should be impressed with the
desirability of coming to the Bureau for assistance and guidance rather
than making other arrangements. If an informant insists on engaging in

were paid sums of money are prospective witnesses, the Bureau must
furni'sh the Department tabulations of payments made to such prospective
witnesses, The office.nandling prosecution must determine from the
departmental attorneys what individuals ere to be used as witnesses.
Thereafter the office should furnish and/or cause other appropriate
offices to furnish to the Bureau the following information:

1 The correct, full name .
2). All aliases, code names, and symbol numbers
3 The first date of contact by your office
4 If first contact was prior to September, 1944, the names of all
SAs, SACs, and ASACs who contacted and may have made payments

bo Each individual and each item of information must be accounted for,

Tf no contact was made with a particular individual, the Bureau must
be so advised,

ce, Where an informant has previously been used and a tabulation of pay=
ments was prepared, information for items (5) through (8) need be given
only from the date of the last trial from which the individual was

| - used.

| correspondence setting forth derogatory information, and should be

is + addressed to the attention of the Administrative Division, Voucher

| Unit... Interdivisional correspondence should be addressed to the

Bureau with copies designated for the interested offices,
8, Receipt of unemployment compensation

a, At% times security informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs
with private industry due to strikes, economic conditions, ox similar
circumstances, As a result they become eligible for unemployment
compensation, Where unemployment regulations require listing of all
sources of income as a prerequisite for obtaining unemployment
compensation and security informants and/or sources who at the time
are being paid by the Bureau for services rendered fail to comply,
the situation is potentially embarrassing, The Bureau cannot be
placed in the position of condoning a violation of the state law on
the part of any informant or source, Each field office must determine
from state unemployment compensation officials effect of unemployment
compensation laws on paid informants and/or sources. Depending on
local requirements, informants and sources must be alerted accordingly.

b, Whenever a paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has
knowledge of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and
submit observations and recommendations to Bureau. Unless advised
to the contrary by the Bureau, follow recommended action, Each

“ offioe.must assume the responsibility of guarding against informentts
accepting a Bureau payment that would conflict with wnemployment
compensation laws, At the same time, weigh seriously the possible
need for an informant te apply and accept unemployment compensation to

during the course of a trial, the receipts will not relate to other
documents or files... .

b. Receipts should clearly show: =

. 1 Date on which payment was made

2 Period for which made when informant is paid on a period basis
3 Total amount paid broken down into separate amounts for services
or expenses where these items are pertinent
{3} Name of Agent making payment
5 Signature of person receiving .the money : .
c.. When transmitting receipts and -itemized statements of expenses to the
. Bureau, they should be_stapled directly to the blue slip, leaving a
margin of at least one inch to one and one~half inches at the top to
avoid contact with the Acco fastener punch, The staples should be
placed in such a manner that the date or other data appearing on the
receipt will not be mutilated and all information on the receipt can
be easily read without detaching it from the blue slip. Care must
be taken that receipts are of such a nature that they clearly show
payment of money and do not refer to any other documentary material
. contained in Bufiles, . a
6. Income tax returns : .

a. Informants who receive compensation for their services to the Bureau
should be advised that such compensation must be reported as income
when filing an income tax return.

b. Since all informants are considered independent contractors, the income
they receive from the Bureau is self-employment income but, since the
Bureau does not consider their activity as the carrying on of a trade

or business, they may consider dispensing with the filing of a schedule

Gas part of form 1040 if they so desire.

ec. The informant!s own personal situation, however, should be taken into
consideration as he may receive income from other sources as an inde—
pendent contractor which would require the deduction of: self-—employ—
ment tax, regardless of any Bureau income he may receive.

d. In considering the filing of a tax on self-employment income, such
a return is based upon net earnings from self-employment of $400
or more. If an informant receives less than $400 from the Bureau
and has no other self-employment income, this money in any event
is not subjeot to the self-employment tax, If the informant re~

t ceives[$4800lor more from outside employment subject to Social
Security tax, again the self-employment tax requirements do not
apply.

e. Bureau income should be set forth under item 10 on page one of the
Federal income tax return, form 1040, as "Other Income" and explained |
under schedule H(3) on page three of the return a8 income received
from other sources for personal services rendered through a private
enterprise or similar general term applicable to informant!s position
and station in life. :

PASSING INFORMATION IN DOUBLE AGENT OPERATIONS .
1. Carefully handle and create basis for acquisition

In double agent operations information requested by the principals
is frequently passed either to build up a double agentts stature
or a8 evidence of espionage activity,

Each case must be carefully evaluated to make certain that a net
gain acerues to the U, 8S.

The information which.is passed should be carefully handled and
appropriate explanations created for its acquisition by the double
agent to avoid his compromise,

2.. Locating information to pass
Wherever possible the field office handling the double agent should
locate appropriate information to be passed; however, the Bureau oan
assist in fulfilling requests for information in possession of
Government agencies.

3, Obtaining Bureau authority
Bureau authority must be obtained to pass any information in a double
agent operation except:

Newspaper articles

Magazine articles -

Pamphlets, brochures, ebce., prepared by a private company or corporation
for distribution or sale to the public. (This does not include highly
technical pamphlets, even if unclassified, which are prepared for
limited use by engineering staffs and not intended for release to the
public.)

4, Retention of copies of passed material

True copies should be retained by the office of origin of any documents
or material related to the national defense which is passed in double
agent operations.

Such material should be appropriately identified by the double agent.
Bureau Agents should not place identifying data on such material but
should preserve any aotes made by them ih connection with the passage
of such material.

Similar action should be taken with regard to any material which is
passed which is considered evidentiary although not clearly related
to the national defense,

It is not necessary to retain copies of build~up material obviously
not evidentiary in nature where there is assurance that copies can
pe obtained at a later date from the Government agency or private
concern having custody. ]

All informants should be designated by'a permanent symbol number of
which the Bureau must be advised.

Potential security informants and confidential sources whose identity |
must be protected may be assigned permanent symbol: numbers if they ar
producing sufficient information to warrant the use of such designations.
Individuals to whom permanent symbols assigned are not to be advised

of such symbols.

An additional cover name or number should be used by informant in
signing his statements and in communications between the informant

and the field office.

‘Bureau should be advised of this cover name or number in addition to

followed.

{a. Informants and sourees entering another division]

1) Aetive informants and sources entering another division on
temporary basis for Bureau business or for personal reasons
should be referred to in initial letter to interested office
by true name and symbol number if it is necessary for the other
division to know the identity of the informant. Office receiving
such letter should make appropriate index cards and place same

letters between interested offices may then identify individual

by symbol number only. : : : :

(2) Individuals who leave the division where they have been furnishing
information and do not ‘plan to return should be immediately
discontinued, their symbol number, if any, should be cancelled,
and their true name should be used in all administrative
‘correspondence,

(3) Ze an informant is transferred to another office and remains

- active, his identity must still be protected.-

e. 72 sommurnications, the teletype abbreviation for the field office,..
symbol, and Letter suffix "S" shall be shown to identify the informant;

f. In communications concerning a potential security informant, the
name of the potential security informant and abbreviation "PSI"
shall be used; e.g., "John Doe, PSI."

é. Similarly, in communications relative to confidential sources, the

abbreviation "CS" should be used; e.g., "Richard Roe, CS."

h. When symbol numbers are assigned to potential security informants,

the designation should be as follows: "LA O00-—PST," .

i. In communications relative to a confidential source having 2 permanent

symbol number, the following should be used: "CS LA 000~S,"

[j. In espionage and foreign nationality matters the caption of the
communication should show in addition a character and the country
designation (i.e., IS —~ R for Russia or IS —~ PO for Poland, ete.).
This facilitates routing the mail at the Bureau.]

J. INDEXING .

(6) After informant authenticates his statement, contacting Agent
should prepare a cover sheet, form FD-306, which should be stapled 5
to it and thereafter the statement should be handled as a
written one in acoordance with instructions set out in 2, a,
(10), and (11).
(7) Oral information furnished by informant purely of lead value
- should be incorporated in an office memorandum by the Agent
and should not be initialed by the informant or exhibited to
him or treated as evidence. -
3. TransmissionfLof information]
- a, Statements should be personally delivered to contacting Agent by .
informants whenever possible, Careful consideration should be
given to full seourity of all such personal contacts. .
b, They should never be mailed to field office or resident agency.
c. If they cannot be obtained personally by contacting Agent, obtain
. confidential post office boxes for their receipt.
a. Confidential post office boxes should be obtained under fictitious

names and not under names of persons who may be listed in post office

directory. -

e. More than one informant may send statements to a specific post office
box, but consideration should be given to obtaining post office boxes
in different post office stations to prevent suspicion on part of
post office employees. *

-- £, Emvelope enclosing statement should have return address of another
confidential post office box obtained under a fictitious name in the
same manner as d. §

g. Statements should be collected at post office boxes regularly,
but time of pickup should be varied. Work out system of rotation
whereby same Agent or Agents will not appear at same post office box
for any extended period of time.

h. When informant receives information of vital and immediate interest
to Bureau, he should furnish it as promptly as possible to contacting
Agent or office by most appropriate means of communication. Office
should take any necessary action without delay. :

4. Handling of lead information

a. <ALL lead information obtained Prom informant must be run out to
a logical conclusion.

b. If there is only partial name of individual or meager descriptive
data, and if there is sufficient data available to do so, file should
be opened and assigned to effect an identification and to take any ;
necessary action.

o, If there is insufficient information to warrant opening oase,

a tickler card should be prepared to follow with the informant and
take other Logical steps in an effort to obtain additional identifying
data concerning the individual. Tickler cards should be restricted
to information which would warrant investigation if an identity is
established, This will eliminate inconsequential items, but at the
same time definite steps must be taken to run out affirmative informa—
tion, If no identification is made after reasonable effort, prepare
memorandum for informant's subfile. If an identification is made,

-a file should be opened and any necessary action taken in connection
therewith.

5. [Handling documentary]material furnished[by informants]

a. Pamphlets and similar documentary material furnished by informants
should have placed thereon the informant's code name or code symbol
(not his true name or his permanent symbol number),

SECTPION 107. SECURITY INFORMANTS[AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES]

If a security informant is requested by the Communist Party, communists
being prosecuted by the Government, or by other interested parties to
assist in the preparation of the defense in subversive—type cases or
receives assignment where such information is readily available,
informant should tactfully decline such assignments,

Any such request received by informant should be reported immediately
to the contacting Agent -and made a matter of record.

If the informant cannot avoid becoming involved, he should be instructed
not to report to the contacting Agent any information pertaining to
defense plans or strategy.

Any such incident must be reported promptly to the Bureau.

INFORMANTS! INFORMATION
General instructions[re oral and written information]

1.

Ba

£.

h.

Instructions regarding preparation, submission, and handling of

information received from informants apply not only to security

informants but also to potential security informants, panel sources,
security confidential sources, and security sources of information.
Specific instructions and guidance must be given to informants
concerning preparation of statements containing their information.
They should be submitted as quickly as: possible after a meeting

or activity.
Written statements should be submitted whenever possible, but if such
cannot be done information may be provided orally. [In espionage and
foreign nationality matters written. statements are usually necessary
only in those instances involving possible future prosecution, (In
the majority of cases diplomats or officials who are not subject ‘to
prosecution are involved.) ]
Carefully scrutinize each, bearing ‘in mind that if informant is called
upon to testify at a later date his statements will very jikely be
introduced in court.
AIL information furnished by informants orally or in wri ting must be
promptly reviewed, recorded, indexed, evaluated, channelized, and all
necessary action taken, Form FD-306 may be used in lieu of a chan
nelizing memorandum if desired. If so used, prepare copies of FD-~306
as needed for dissemination and staple one scopy to each copy of the
informant!s statement being channelized. Channelization should be
noted on original FD-~306 and on all copies under "Remarks," ;
Prior to any prosecution or administrative hearing, advise the trial
attorney that informant not only furnished information concerning
instant case but also provided other statements not pertinent to case
at issue. The trial attorney will thus be prepared in the event
informant testifies on direct examination or cross—examination that
he furnished information in addition to his testimony.

See subsection M for instructions regarding filing informant statements.

Recording[written and oral information]

Be

Written by informant
1 May be in handwriting or hand printing of informant or typed,
2 Original only should be submitted and informants should never
- retain any copies or notes relating thereto, Continuously check
informants to see that they do not keep any notes or copies.
{3} Prepare on paper devoid of any Bureau markings or identification.
4) Date when informant prepares statement should be placed at the
top of it.

(5) ALI information obtained by informants regarding each meeting

or each separate activity in which they engage should be sub-—
mitted in one statement whether the information is of
evidentiary or intelligence value.

(F. . INDOCTRINATION, [DIRECTION, JAND CONTROL OF [SECURITY] INFORMANTS

[ 1. [Caution against divulging relationship]

a. During initial development and consistently thereafter, impress
upon informant the absolute necessity that he refrain from divulging
through any media any information regarding his relationship with

- Bureau.

“pb. These ‘instructions must be properly worded and phrased to prevent

any possibility Bureau's being accused of attempting to impose

. “~  * gensorship.

C 2, [Developing additional background]

' a, During development of informant, additional data concerning his
background should be continuously obtained from informant.

b, After gaining informant's confidence, information will be elicited.
which may be pertinent to his operation and may have effect upon
his retention, such as data revealing he is mentally or emotionally
unstable, or has some personal problem which would make him a risk
a8 an informant.

C 3. [Handling indications of instability]

. a, Details of any indications of instability should be furnished to
the Bureau immediately upon being obtained, with recommendations as
to informant's continuance.

b. Set forth the steps being taken to prevent any embarrassment to
Bureau.

4, Contacts[by Agents] © , ,

Be [Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where the
frequency of contact is dependent on the circumstances of eaoh
case, informants should be contacted as often as necessary, but
at least one personal contact should be made every two weeks,

b. If such frequent contacts cannot be established, obtain specific
Bureau authority for an exception to this re quirement[ (except in
espionage and foreign nationality matters).] In requesting such
exception, set forth all attendant circumstances.

c. During each contact, informant's activities since previous contact
should be carefully reviewed and the contacting Agent should make
certain the informant has furnished in writing or verbally all

_ information and data which he has obtained since the last contact.
If additional or supplementary information is furnished during this
contact with the informant, this information should be handled in the
same manner af outlined in subsection G,

d, Contacting Agent should become so well acquainted with informant
that he will not breach the confidential relationship. If there
is slightest indication informant may do so, Agent should be able
to anticipate this action and forestall it, .

e. Contacting Agent should not only collect information but also direst

informant, be aware of his activitics, and maintain such close rela
tionship that he knows how informant is thinking with regard to
Bureau connection, This relationship should not be so reciprocal
that informant obtains information concerning Agent or Agent's
pusiness, personal or official.

£. Good judgment must prevail in handling informant to see he does not
become too familiar with Agent and later cause embarrassment to
Agent.or Bureau by using for his own advantage such knowledge which
he may obtain.

g. Promptly advise Bureau of any indication informant is wavering in
Bureau relationship.

- SECTION 107. SECURITY INFORMANTS(AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES}

eo ....: @

Any arrangements for paying informant or personallW contacting him
must be specific and no doubt should be left in the minds of either
the Agent or informant as to the methods of payment, amount, place,
and time.

Informants should be instructed to use only public telephones in
communicating with contacting Agent and consideration should be given
to furnishing informants the unlisted office telephone number for
emergency communication. [This rule is not practical in all espionage

and foreign nationality matters but should be followed where applicable,]

Positive information received from informant should be the subject

of a written statement by informant or a memorandum prepared by
contacting Agent to be placed in the informant's subfile and
appropriately channelized.

Record dates of all contacts, whether negative or positive, in inform
ant's administrative file, Memorandum or form FD-209 may be used, If
_informant’ contacted frequently, one memorandum or form may be used for
“several contacts

The dates of negative ‘contacts and file numbers. ‘of the cases involved
must appear in informant's administrative file, . Where a file “has more
than one subject, the name of the subject under “Unquiry should also

be noted. Do not set forth title of the case involved on the form,

if positive.information received from informant, show only dates of
contacts in informant's administrative file. Place positive informa
tion in informant's subfile and appropriately channelize same.
Alternate Agent should be designated for contacts with informant and
former should be thoroughly acquainted with informant so that contacts
may be handled by alternate Agent in absence of Agent to whom inform. °
ant is assigned, .

Reliability of informants must be coustantly checked,

Consideration should be given to use of any investigative technique
deemed necessary to be certain they are completely reliable and are
furnishing accurate, truthful information.

Checks on reliability must be constantly reviewed during time
informant is active.

6, Pingerprints

After informant has been developed and unless some “peason to the
contrary exists, obtain and forward his fingerprints to Identifica~
tion Division if they are not on file there,

If informant refuses, do not force the issue, . .
Informant's fingerprints, when obtained, should be forwarded a8
enclosure to FDW~165 using applicant—type fingerprint card, form
FD-258, This card should be properly executed showing subject's
complete description, including date and place of birth. Appro~
priate field office should be shown as contributor, field case file
mumber in number space, and “inquiry” in space for’ tcompany and
address" on face of card.

A flash notice is to be placed ‘by the field in the files of the
Tdentification Division by submission of form FD-165, using informantts
true name for each informant who has fingerprints on file.

When informant is discontinued, retain flash notice for one year
following discontinuance, Insure that notice is canceled at that
time by submission of form FD~165 or advise Bureau as to why notice
should be continued, If fingerprints obtained solely for this
purpose, remove fingerprints from criminal file.

{ 7. [Control ~ statement of cooperation]

Close control must be exeroised over activities of informants and
double agents in order to obtain maximum results in sesurity cases
and to prevent any possible embarrassment to Bureau,

When background information obtained as described under subsection C,
transmit resuits to Bureau in the same numerical sequence as set out

‘in subsection C, and request authority to develop individual as a

security informant.

When authority is granted by Bureau, steps should be taken to develop
his potentiality and he should be made aware of Bureau policy.

Carefully plan initial interviews as to time and location to prevent any
embarrassment to Bureau.

Do not interview female potentials in their own homes or apartments unless
necessary and all such interviews[in their residences]should be conducted
by two Agents[after specific approval of the]superior in the field
office responsible for development of informants, [This instruction is
not applicable where active investigation has established that the
potential informant is of good character, there is no indication of
affiliation with subversive groups, and there will be no embarrassment
to the Bureau,

Except in espionage and foreign nationality matters where contact is
maintained on a periodic basis dependent on the circumstances of the
case, lpotential informants should be contacted personally at least

once every two weeks in the same manner as informants.

Advise Bureau of progress being made at least every four months.

These progress letters should contain informative summary of information
furnished during past four months and must include certifications
regarding potential informant's stability and reliability and his

- indoctrination against disclosure. These certifications may follow the

wording suggested under section 107N,[3b, (11) and (12). (Refer to
section 105K, 6h, (3), (bd), volume IV, of this manual for exceptions to
this rule in deseco matters.) ]

Post records of contacts with potential informants so that the cases will
not become delinguent.

During interviews with potential informants, if it develops individual
does not have the necessary capabilities, discontinue efforts.
Potential informant should have contacts, associates, or possibilities
for engaging in activity through which he can obtain and furnish current
information of Bureau interest in security field,

If individual does not have potential as above described but is willing
to cooperate, consider indicating to him he can be of assistance if he
places himself in a position where he may be able to obtain information
of value. In this regard, address of local headquarters of subversive
organizations or meeting places of subversive groups may be mentioned
to the individual as places where it may be possible for him to obtain
information if he so desires; also, it may be mentioned that if he sub-.
scribes to periodicals or frequents such places above mentioned, he may
be approached or an interest may be shown in him which,if developed,
would be the means whereby he could obtain information, .

Inform potential informants who agree to assist the Bureau that such
assistance must be strictly voluntary and they are to understand that
there is no coercion or intimidation involved,

During initial taco? development and on occasion active informants
may raise a personal question concerning their own position if it.
becomes known publicly that they are affiliated with a subversive
organization, In the event a potential informant or informant inquires
as to what oan be done for him in such a case, he may be told that
his cooperation is a matter of record in the FBI and if some question
arises concerning his loyalty we will consider making the facts of his
cooperation with the FBI known to his employer or to the responsible
individuals, It should be pointed out that this action may make’ it
impossible for him to continue on behalf of the FBI and the service
which he is performing for his country may be terminated, Before - -
taking steps to advise anyone of a potential informantts or informant!s
cooperation, prior Bureau authority must be obtained.
Specifically advise each potential informant that he is not and ‘cannot
consider himself a Bureau employee or “undercover Agent" of the FBI.
In this regard, the seriousness of violating the ‘impersonation statutes
must be impressed upon the informant, i re
“Advise potential informant that his cooperation must be striotly confi
dential at all times and if he should feel he cannot maintain this
confidence he should so advise, There should be no doubt left in the
mind of the informant that his relationship must remain on a confidential
basis and if he violates the confidence he will .be of no value and by
so doing the Bureauls investigative activity may be jeopardized, This
must be thoroughly impressed upon the informant before you aocept hin
as such, If the informant has a-special problem which would require
his revealing his relationship to his wife, etec., this should be learned
from him during the initial interview and a recommendation made to the
Bureau when the results of the interview are furnished. The Special
circumstances will be taken into consideration by the Bureau. :
If a prospective informant is connected in any manner with a labor ~
union, inform him that the Bureau is not interested in employer—~< ..
employee relationships as such and is only concerned with obtaining
information on the infiltration in labor unions by subversive elements,
‘If the potential informant is a student, teacher, or has any similar
relations with a school, college, or university, in his initial interview
and subsequent handling, be sure to follow current instructions concern~
ing investigations on the campuses of colleges and universities...: -
From the first interview with a potential informant through his develop—
ment and until he is discontinued, extreme caution should be used at
all times to be certain he is not a plant.
When potential informant begins to furnish current information and
otherwise qualifies for designation as informant, assign permanent
symbol number and advise Bureau. This communication must be personally
initieled by SAC or ASAC acting in his absence; individuelts background
must also be thoroughly reviewed at this time, keeping in mind possibility
of using informant as 4 potential witness, If individual has any
weaknesses, set forth safeguards being followed to insure security and
to prevent embarrassment to Bureau, ]

{3B. SOURCES OF POTENTIAL[SECURITY]INFORMANIS

Informants should be developed on all organizations and individuals which
are inimical to the internal security. Experience has shown that potential
informants may be obtained through alertness in the course of normal inves ti-~
gative activity. Live informant coverage depends for the most part upon
initiative and resourcefulness of individual Agents and SACs. For assistance
in obtaining potential informants, the following is suggested:
1. Evaluation of
- a, Complainants in security matters
b. Persons interviewed in connection with security cases
c. Subjects of security investigations looking for indications of disaf—
fection, disgruntlement, loss of interest, inactivity, financial hard-
ship, or other repudiation of party Loyalty
ad. Bureau epplicants as possible informants
e. Personal friends and contacts of Special Agents and other Bureau
emploeyses
£. Sources of information, confidential sources, and contacts on con
timnous basis
2. Review of closed security files on individuals.
3. Review of somnunist index
4, .Ascertain possibilities of reactivating former confidential informants,
5. Survey possibilities of trash covers,
6. Review factionalism section of file on Communist Party, USA,
7, Consultation with present informants regarding indications of disaffection
: on the part of Communist Party members. They, of course, should not be
informed as to the purpose of the inquiry. .
8. Review of files on communist front organizations looking for individuais
whe have been associated with only one or two fronts or who attended only
1a few meetings of a front, Such individuals frequently are innocent of
communist propensities, yet they have a basis for cultivating the
acquaintance of party members, The Progressive Party file also might
prove a fertile field.

Investigation of communist petition signers who are, acquainted with
Communist Party functionaries

Be alert to receive any suggestions of plant executives and highly placed
personnel who are reliable and friendly to the Bureau concerning members
of subversive organizations who might cooperate with the Bureau or employ
ees who might be willing to infiltrate a subversive organization, In the
past such contacts have on occasion resulted in the plant's making avail-
able the services of an employee who already is an informant of the manage~
ment. —

Personnel directors in plants frequently are able to advise of members of
communist—dominated unions who retain their membership merely to hold
their positions,

With regard to both 10 and 11 above, if possible, the official should
suggest to the potential informant that he contact the Bureau rather

than have an Agent originate the contact,

After the Bureau has notified the armed forces of a communist in an indus—
trial plant having armed forces contracts, the communist frequently recants
when he is informed of the charges and is facing the possibility of dis.
missal or transfer to a nonrestricted position in the same plant, At

such a time, officers friendly to the Bureau sometimes suggest that

the person advise the Bureau of his past activities. Be alert to take
advantage of such cooperation when offered,

Review of Communist Party registration records to ascertain what individ
uals merély registered but never became active .

Use of a reliable third party to make the contact with a possible inform.
ant when direct contact by an Agent is inadvisable, “Request Bureau to
furnish the services of an individual who is available for such a contact.
Officials and employees of foreign establishments in the U, S.

Employees of the United Nations Secretariat

Contacts (business, social, or otherwise) of foreign officials stationed
in the J, 8S. . :
Individuals who because of background, employment, or social status are

in a position of intelligence interest to a foreign principal and who

will undertake intelligence assignments under the guidance of the

Bureau. (See deseco program, section 1O5K,6h, volume IV, of this manual,)}

NW 88371 Docld:32989575 Page 1870 4

Check of field office files for derogatory information, particularly

of a subversive nature

Discreet canvass of other informants to ascertain if the potential inform
ant is known to current informants of your office

Inquiries of discreet nature to obtain information concerning the individ
ualts personal history (date and place of birth, etc.), patxiotism, health
reliability, stability, integrity, general reputation, present and past
employments, and business connections, Background investigation must
definitely establish that the potential informant can be utilized without
any danger of future embarrassment due to instability or unreliability.
Securing background information from the potential informant is not
sufficient; the background of the individual must be eatablished by the
investigation, :

Check of Local credit and arrest records, Obtain necessary data for

the completion of an FD~9 form which should be transmitted to the Identi-
fication Division to obtain the record, if any, of the informant.

Armed services record should be reviewed if the individual is a veteran.
Check draft status or status in the armed forces reserve,

Domestic status and if any marital difficulties all details should be
obtained,

SECTION 107. .#ECURITY INFORMANTS[AND CONFID EYAL SOURCES] 1078

Instruct each intexested Bureau offioe which has made further dis-
semination of such information to follow the instruotions set forth
above.

Also set up a control file regarding this corrective action, and upon
completion of same submit to the Bureau a final letter under the in~
formantts caption identifying each case by title, character, Bureau file,
where known, and date of communication,

_ This letter will be used to check all pertinent Bureau files to see

that necessary corrective action has been taken in each instance,

If necessary, other field offices which have received information from
the informant should also be requested to submit summary letters show~
ing what corrections have been made,

It is imperative that all information from the informant be correotly

. Labeled and great care must be taken to see that this is done.

Occasionally, an ex-informant through his speech, writings, or actions
raises a doubt as. to his reliability subsequent to the time he was an
informant. It is not necessary to go back and change the evaluation of
the ‘information attributed to that individual in the absence of a
definite indication that the informant furnished unreliable information
to the Bureau while he was an informant.

Dissemination of information from sources of questionable reliability
and known unreliability should be made in accordance with part II,
section 5, of the Manuel of Rules and Regulations.

Assignment of symbols

a. <A symbol number may be assigned if an unusual security problem
exists, or if typing would be. saved,

b. Advise Bureau by letter giving name, address, ‘business affiliation,
symbol number, reason for assigning a symbol number, and a brief
statement concerning type of information furnished.

co. The abbreviation "CS" may be used in intra~Bureau communications
for confidential source, [Communications relating to espionage and
foreign nationality matters should in addition have a character
indicating the country involved; e.g.,]IS - R for Russia. ]

ad, When’a permanent symbol has been assigned to a confidential source,
the abbreviation “CS" is to appear before the symbol number}; e.¢g.,
CS NY-000S,

e. Symbol numbers assigned to confidential sources are to be taken from
the series of symbol numbers used for your security and criminal
informants,

Index

2, Index cards (3 by 5 inches) like those prepared for informants must
be made up and filed as an adjunct to the oriminal informant index
or the security informant index, depending on the type of information
furnished.

b. The symbol index is handled similarly to the symbol index on inform—

* ants,

ce. Duplicate confidential source cards may be maintained with the
criminal informant index and the security informant index if the
source furnishes information of value in both types of investiga~
tions.

Piles

When active investigation is initiated relative to an individual who

has potential as a security confidential source, a 134 classification

file should be opened and maintained in a pending status until efforts
to develop the individual are discontinued, The same procedure should
be followed: concerning racial confidential sources, the classification
being 137. Files may be opened on confidential sources in criminal
matters in a manner identical with that for handling criminal informant
files in the discretion of the SAC,

Ce

NW 683271 Docid:32989529 Page 1818

Purpose

To develop evidence of any violations of the statutes enumerated

in A. 1. above and keep the Department and other agencies and officials

of Executive Branch advised of information developed which pertains

to their areas of responsibility and interest.

Individuals to be investigated

Investigations should be conducted to fully identify and determine

the activities and affiliations of persons who:

Are reported to be engaged in activities which may result in a violation

of statutes enumerated in A. 1. above. This includes individuals who

are current active members ef subversive organization or movement.

Where formal membership in a subversive movement does not exist, it

includes individuals who are actively supporting the subversive goals

of the movement.

Priority investigative attention should be given to individuals who

are known or suspected of being involved in subversive activities

which are of a clandestine, underground, or violent nature.

Limitations on investigations

All investigations conducted should avoid nebulous or sweeping inquiries

which are not relevant to objectives. Under no circumstances should

an investigation be conducted of any individual merely on the basis

that such individual supports unpopular causes or opposes Government

policies.

Investigations requiring FBIHQ approval

Obtain FBIHQ approval for investigation of:

(1) U. S. Government employee

(2) Officials or employees of United Nations or other public
international organizations of a governmental or quasi-
governmental nature.

(3) Officials or employees of foreign diplomatic establishments
or governments, or foreign exchange participants (representatives
of foreign countries who are in U. S. as part of official
exchange program).

(4) Faculty members of institutions of learning.

’ FBIHQ approval is not required for investigation of student or
nonacademic employees of institutions of learning in the absence
of unusual circumstances. If during a pending investigation it
is discovered that the subject fits one of above categories,
suspend active investigation and advise FBIHQ with recommendation
as to further action.

Members of United States armed forces

No investigation should be conducted of active[members of U. S.
military forces or retirees from the "regular" components of the
armed forces who are subject to Article 2 of the Uniform Code of
Military Justice and over whom the military retains control (re-
tirees from military reserve forces are not subject to the Uniform
Code of Military Justice).] If it is determined that a subject fits
in this category, terminate investigation and promptly furnish per-
tinent data to appropriate counterintelligence branch of U. S.
armed forces. Advise FBIHQ in form suitable for dissemination.

ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIL®

{f. Candidates for or occupants of elective public office
Upon learning of the candidacy for public office of a member of a
subversive organization, the office of origin should promptly
furnish FBIHQ with a communication suitable for dissemination
setting forth sufficient identifying data and a brief summary
of the individual's subversive activities together with details
of the individual's candidacy for public office. In the absence
of a violation of a specific Federal statute, no investigation
should be conducted until subject's candidacy for public office
is resolved. Information received during the period of the indi-
vidual's candidacy indicating a specific violation of Federal
law(s) should be furnished FBIHQ by means consistent with the
exigencies of the situation along with recommendations as to
additional action warranted. Other unsolicited subversive infor-
mation received from sources and informants or obtained incidental
to other investigations should be channeled to the individual's
file and, when appropriate, furnished FBIHQ in disseminative form
with recommendations as to additional action warranted.

Results of candidacy in every instance should ‘be furnished FBIHQ
under individual caption. Should the candidate have been defeated,
necessary communication should contain recommendations as to addi-
tional action warranted. Should the candidate be elected, necessary
communication should contain statement*that in the absence of
information indicating a specific violation of a Federal statute,

no additional investigation will be conducted. At such time as the
individual ceases to serve in public office, the office of origin
should submit such information to FBIHQ accompanied by recommenda~
tions as to additional action warranted. Should information be
received indicating a violation of a specific Federal statute while
the individual is in office, receiving office should submit pertinent
information to FBIHQ by means consistent with the exigencies of the
situation along with recommendations as to additional action deemed
warranted.

as attendance at regular meetings of subversive group, use summary

narrative statement. Exact dates are not needed, but time period
involved should be indicated. Summary statements must be statements
of facts and not conclusions. Information from different sources
should be reported separately and any significant items must be

set forth in detail.

Administrative or Cover Pages

(1) Material to be included
Pertinent information concerning following should be. included in
administrative pages of report or cover communication of LHM:
References to other reports or correspondence, ADEX status,
reference to security flash notice (FD-165) or transfer of origin
(FD-128), reason for classification, if any, documentation of data
contained.in report or LHM, identities of confidential sources,
leads, and other administrative or noninvestigative material.
Use form (FD-305) for ADEX cases. If used, nonsymbol source page
should be last page.

(2) Documentation
(a) In documenting information originating with another field

. office, file number of original document need not be shown
provided source, date information received, and receiving
Agent are identified.

(b) Do not conduct extensive inquiries to document background
information.

(c) In characterizing persons who associate with subject,
identify source but further documentation not required.

Office of Origin

there is doubt as to which office should be origin, request FBIHQ to
designate office of origin.
Title of communications
Normally, only one subject should be carried in title of each report
or LHM and separate reports should be submitted for each subject
regardless of relationship. However, when reporting virtually
identical information concerning two related individuals (e.g., travel
data concerning a husband and wife) an exception can be made and
single LHM or report submitted. In such cases dual captions should
be used and an extra copy of communication provided.
Classification - 100
Character
(1) Designation "Subversive Matter" (or abbreviation SM) should be
used in all cases. Add organizational affiliation when chief
group with which subject is connected is under current investigation
or has approved[characterization.
Example: Subversive Matter - CPUSA
Subversive Matter ~ SWP
(2) Where meaningful organization affiliation cannot be shown,
use caption "Subversive Matter."
Copies of reports or LHMs
In all instances furnish four copies to FBIHQ to cover dissemination
to Department (2) and Secret Service (1). Where it appears dissemination
will be made to other agencies at FBIHQ level, furnish one additional
copy for each such agency involved.
Status
Carry cases as pending until logical inquiries aimed at resolving
purpose of investigation have been completed. As minimum, case
should be kept pending until essential background data regarding
subject has been secured and sufficient information developed to present
good picture of nature and extent of subversive activities engaged in
by subject.
Closing and reopening of cases
If it is determined that subject's current activities do not involve
an actual or potential violation of one or more of the statutes
enumerated in A. 1. above, case should be closed.

Case may be reopened at a later date if additional information is

received which indicates subject's subsequent activities involve or

may result in a violation of the statutes cited in A. lo

Subject traveling abroad (Also see section 105G volume IV, of this

manual).

Take following action when information is received that subject of

current investigation intends to travel abroad or has departed on foreign

travel (except where travel is of brief duration and is known to be

for innocuous purpose, such as vacation): ,

(1) Immediately notify FBIHQ of available details concerning travel,
including places and dates of departure and intended return,
destination, itinerary, purpose of trip, and pertinent passport
data. Include full description of subject, including aliases.

Set out concise resume of available subversive data regarding
subject. Do not delay advising FBIHQ while developing details
if time is of essence.

:) . GENERAL GUIDELINES |

1. Investigative jurisdiction
FBI investigations under this section are based on specific statutory
jurisdiction and Departmental instructions.

gathering of material pertinent to a determination whether or not the
subject has violated, or is engaged in activities which may result in
a violation of, one or more of the statutes enumerated below; or in
fulfillment of Departmental instructions.

There are three principal statutes which provide a basis for these

investigations, as follows:

ae Rebellion or insurrection (T18, USC § 2383).
"Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion
or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the
laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined not
more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; ]
and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States." j

b. Seditious conspiracy (T18, USC § 2384). 4
"Tf two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to over-
throw, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the
United States, or to levy war against them, or to’oppose by force
the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the
execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take,
or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority
thereof, they shall each be fined not more than $20,000 or imprisoned
not more than twenty years, or both."

) . Gs Advocating the overthrow of the Government (T18, USC § 2385).

“Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches
the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or
destroying the government of the United States or the government of
any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the
government of any political subdivision therein, by force or
violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such
government; or

"Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any
such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells,

five years next following his conviction.

"If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this
section, each shail be fined not more than $20,000 or imprisoned
not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for
employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof,
for the five years next following his conviction.

"As used in this section, the terms ‘organizes! and torganize!', with
respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the
recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regroup-
ing or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of

such society, group, or assembly of persons."

The courts have interpreted this statute to require advocacy to
action, i-e., advocacy to do something, now or in the future, rather
than merely to believe in something.

In addition to the three principal statutes outlined above, there i
are two other statutes which might provide a statutory foundation for F
an investigation under this section. These are:

{ . d. [Internal Security Act of 1950 (T 50, USC, § 783a)

In addition to the three principal statutes outlined in sub-
paragraphs a-, be, and ce, the Internal Security Act could
provide a statutory basis for investigation of certain cases
under this Section. This Act makes it unlawful to knowingly
contribute to the establishment of a totalitarian dictatorship
within the United States which is controlled by a foreign
government, organization, or individual.
2. Prosecutive determination
All discussions pertaining to the prosecutive potential of investigations
initiated under this section will be conducted by FBIHQ with Departmental
officials. These cases should not be discussed with local Ue S. Attorney's
office without FBIHQ approval.
3. Related statutes
There are a number of other statutes under the FBI's investigative
jurisdiction which should be borne in mind in handling these investigations.
Information concerning possible violations of such statutes is frequently
developed during these investigations. Where this occurs the field should
consider the desirability of conducting investigation in line with the
policies and procedures governing the statute in question. :

WS

ae trewte

A list-of other Federal statutes which may arise during these investigations
is outlined in an appendix to this manual. .

4. Definitions
The term "subversiye activities" as used in this section denotes
activities which are aimed at overthrowing, destroying or undermining the
Government of the United States or any of its political subdivisions by
the illegal means prohibited by statutes enumerated in A. le above. The
term "subversive organization" or "subversive movement" denotes a group
or movement which is known to engage in or advocate subversive activities,
as defined above.

5. Predication for investigation

In all cases handled under the provisions of this section, the first

communication prepared for outside dissemination (report or LHM) should

show specifically the statute upon which the investigation is based
together with necessary supporting facts. Where investigation has been
specifically requested by Department, this should be indicated. The
following examples are illustrative; however, the basis for each
individual case must be tailored to the circumstances of such case.

a. "This investigation is based on information that the subject's
activities could involve violation of T 18, USC, § 2383 (Rebellion
or Insurrection), and § 2384 (Seditious Conspiracy). A source whose
reliability has not been determined has informed that the subject
is planning, along with others, to travel to Washington, D. C.,
on April 30, 1971, to participate in planned violent demonstrations
during the first week in May, 1971, to ‘shut down the Government.'
Demonstration plans include the blocking of streets and highways,
destruction of personal and Government property, and: physical

- . obstruction to prevent Government employees from reporting to work."

. b. "This investigation is based on information that the subject's
activities could involve a violation of T 18, USC, § 2385 (Advocating
the overthrow of the Government). The subject is an admitted member
(or has beén identified as a member by a confidential source who
has provided reliable information in the past) of (name of group).
The (name of group) in its public statements and publications
advocates the desirability and necessity of overthrowing the U.- S.
Government by force or violence, and the assassination of U. S.
Government officers. The same source has reported that the subject
actively supports these positions."

Need

. Where possible, the first intra-Bureau communication prepared which
"aR [ indicates that investigation is being[ conducted |should specifically
) indicate the statutory basis for the investigation. However, there
“may be occasions involving individuals or groups in contact with known
subversive elements where the purpose of the contact is not initially
known and where a preliminary inquiry must be made to determine
whether a statutory basis exists for full investigation. In these
instances, a preliminary inquiry may be undertaken, through estab-
lished sources, for a period not to exceed 90 days, without specifically
indicating the specific statutory basis for the inquiry. If after the
conclusion of 90 days it has not been possible to establish a
statutory basis but further inquiry appears necessary, FBIHQ must
be furnished a succinct summary of the facts by letter together with
specific recommendations as to further action. In all cases, of
course, investigations must be based on indications that subject
may be engaged in subversive activity, whether or not a specific
statutory basis is cited. .

In the event preliminary inquiries fail to establish a sound basis

for investigation, the case should be promptly closed and there is.

no need to advise FBIHQ (unless FBIHQ has been previously advised

of the inquiry). Nor is there any need to prepare an LHM or report
where no pertinent subversive derogatory information has been developed.

If the statutory basis for an investigation should change or be
expanded to include an additional statute or statutes, the first |
conmunication prepared subsequent to such change or expansion should
specifically show such changes. Similarly, this information should
be included in the next report or LHM prepared in the case.

SECT, e 7. ‘INVESTIGATIONS OF SUBvER ~  87C
’ ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDDALS

(4) Records of private firms. Obtain pertinent available information
from records of private firms such as past or present employers.
Checks of credit agencies should be limited to securing identifying
information only.

(5) Contacts with neighbors and fellow employees. Such inquiries
should be made only where there is expectation they will develop
pertinent information not otherwise available.

(6) Canvass of established sources and informants. Contact informants
and sources in position to be knowledgeable concerning subversive

‘ groups with which subject is affiliated. °
' (7) Physical and photographic surveillances. These should be
considered on selective basis when circumstances indicate they
may be productive.
Ce Interviews of subjects
tae (1) Policy
: Subjects of investigation should be interviewed unless there
is a sound basis for not doing so. Generally, interviews should
be considered after background inquiries have been completed
and a good picture of subject's activities developed.
If a decision not to interview a subject is made, this should be
fully explained in case file and FBIHQ advised whenever FBIHQ
- is cognizant of investigation. .
(2) Purpose .
To develop information regarding subversive activities in which
the subject is engaged.
(3) Approval to interview
All interviews of subjects may be approved by SAC except following
instances which require FBIHQ approval:
(a) Deleted “*
_(b) When subject is nationally prominent or where circumstances

eee?

) 7 otherwise indicate the interview could be widely publicized,
. such as labor leaders, educators, religious leaders or
journalists.

"(c) When interview is to be conducted in presence of subject's
attorney and/or aide.
(d) When subject is connected with institution of learning.
[In those instances where FBIHQ approval is not required, case
Agent should prepare a memorandum requesting SAC authority for
interview. This memorandum should include a succinct resume of
the case, including a review of office files concerning a subject,
and should indicate the objectives of an interview. Memorandum
must be approved by SAC or in his absence, by a designated official. ]
(4) Letter requesting FBIHQ approval to interview subject
“* (a) Letter should concisely set out available data concerning
following items: ;
Ie Residence address, employment, race, date and place of
birth, citizenship and any health factors which could
affect conduct of interview. .
II. Marital status, employment and citizenship of spouse.

III. Succinct summary of subject's subversive activities,
membership of affiliation with subversive groups, and
positions held.

IV. Similar summary regarding spouse's affiliation with
subversive activities. .
V. Similar summary concerning subversive activities on
part of close relatives.
VI. Resume of subject's current sympathies and status in
: subversive movement or organization and any indication
) . of disaffection.

SECTION 87. INVESTIGATION OF SUBVERSIVE
ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS

VII. Subject's arrest record and disposition of charges; any
information indicating a propensity for violence.
VII£. What is expected to be gained by interview?

List above items by number but headings need not be restated.
If no pertinent data is available concerning a particular
item, so indicate.

(b) Submit one copy of letter and additional copy of first page

only which can be returned by FBIHQ stamped "Approved.!

If interview not conducted within 60 days, submit letter advising

FBIHQ:

(a) Reason interview not conducted. :

(b) Any new information pertinent to desirability of interview.

(c) Whether efforts to interview subject will be pursued. There-

after, keep FBIHQ advised at least each 60 days as to progress

of matter.

Conduct of interview.

(a) Interviews of subjects entitled + to the warning and waiver
shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements set
forth in Volume I, Manual of Instructions, Section 2B,
page 15. If the interview is being conducted for intelligence
information rather than an admission or confession of
guilt, no warning is required. Moreover, if the investigation
has failed to develop information indicating a possible
violation of Federal law by the subject, it would be
permissible to interview the subject without a warning as
he does not fit the criteria of those entitled to a warning
of rights. Carefully pian interview so there will be no
compromise of sources, sensitive techniques or interviewing

“personnel. An overriding consideration to always bear in
mind is that interview should elicit from, not provide
information to the subject.

(b) Interview at subject's place of employment should be

avoided if possible. If attorney or aide is present during

interview, interview must be conducted by two Agents.

(c) If, during conduct of interview subject desires that his

attorney or aide be present, the interview should be tact-

fully terminated, and FBIHQ should be informed with recommen~
dation whether or not to resume interview.

(4) In all other instances, SAC has responsibility and option

of deciding when two Agents should handle interview. Safety

of Agents is first prioxity to consider.

Direction of subject's activities.

Priox FBIHQ approval is required before taking any steps to- direct

“the subject's activities even though he may eppear to be cooperative

(8):

NW 88321 Docid:32989529

- during the interview.

Reporting results of interview.

(a) Record results of interview on FD~302.

(b) Pertinent results of interview should be included in next
: report or LHM unless circumstances indicate need for more
expeditious reporting. In cover letter or administrative
pages, include observations of interviewing Agents as to
subject's cooperativeness, any relevant information
concerning subject's appearance or characteristics, and
assessment of information developed by interview in light
of other data known to your office.

ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDWRS

; : b. This would include leaders of organizations whose aims include the over-
) throw or destruction of the Government of the United States or the
government of any state, territory, district, or possession thereof,

or the government of any political subdivision therein, by unlawful
means. The term leaders" denotes those individuals, irrespective ;
of title, who are in a position to significantly influence the

policies or direct the activities of the group. Mere membership

in an organization, without the element of leadership or without a
demonstrated willingness and capability described in paragraph a,

is not sufficient for inclusion in ADEX.

.Ce Individuals should be considered a “current threat" to the national
security when reliable information has been developed that they have
engaged in activity or exhibited the requisite willingness and capability
falling within the above-described criteria during prior two years
and there is no indication they have ceased such activity. However,
there may be instances where retention of an individual in ADEX is
justified even though no pertinent information is available during

- the prior two years. For example, such retention might be warranted
in the case of individuals who have gone into hidingloxr ]temporarily
left the country. [Following guidelines should be followed with
respect to imprisoned subjectse If already on ADEX and sentence is
such that the earliest possible release date from actual incarcera-
tion is more than two years after sentencing, subject should be rec»
ommended for removal from ADEX. If possible, stop should be placed
with facility where incarcerated so office will receive notifica-—

_ tion of release, after which subject should be considered for pos~
, sible reactivation on ADEX. Whether or not a stop can be placed,
‘necessary administrative procedure should be set up so that sub-
ject's continued incarceration is verified at least every six months.
If case is not pending, it should be placed in a pending inactive
rather than closed status. If a subject under investigation appears
to qualify for ADEX but is under sentence for over two years as de~
scribed above, do not recommend for ADEX but follow procedures
described above to consider for ADEX upon release from imprisonment.
Sentences which permit releases in less than two years should be ignored
as a factor in considering ADEX status. These guidelines are for
application only as to ADEX status and have no bearing on whether or
not subjects should be investigated. For those cases in a closed
status at time these new guidelines become effective, they should be
brought in line with the_new guidelines when the cases are next
- reviewed for any reason. |]
ad. ADEX should not include individuals who may be ideologically committed
to a philosophy which calis for the downfall of our form of government
or which favors another form of society but who have not shown a current
willingness or capability of engaging in meaningful action to promote
their beliefs. This might apply, for example, to rank~and-file members
-of the Socialist Workers Party or the Communist Party, USA, or other
oid~line revolutionary groups which have advocated an overthrow of
our present form of government but where subject's activity is ;
primarily ideological in nature and not oriented toward action. Each
case should be reviewed on an individual basis in the light of the
. criteria enumerated above.
3 Recommendation for preparation of ADEX card
ae When dangerousness of subject has been established, office of origin
* should prepare recommendation on FD-122, in triplicate. Forward
original and copy to FBIHQ, and place copy in’ subject's file.
b. Attach additional page or pages to FD-122 setting out succinct
summary of facts on which recommendation based.

to check records of Identification Division and post fiash notice if
fingerprints of subject are on file. FD-165 will be returned if posi-
tive identification cannot be made» In latter event, FD~165 should be
submitted every two years as long as subject remains on ADEX and no

are current active members of subversive organization or movement.
Where formal membership in a subversive movement does not exist, it
includes individuals who are actively supporting the subversive goals
of the movement.

Priority investigative attention should be given to individuals who

"are known or suspected of being involved in subversive activities
. Which are of a clandestine, underground, or violent nature.

Limitations on investigations

All investigations conducted should avoid nebulous or sweeping inquiries

No investigation should be conducted of active[members of U. S.
military forces or retirees from the "regular" components of the
armed forces who are subject to Article 2 of the Unifexm Code of

the activities and affiliations of persons who:
Are reported to be engaged in activities which may result in a violation
of statutes enumerated in A. 1. above. This includes individuals who
are current active members of subversive organization or movement.
Where formal membership in a subversive movement does not exist, it
includes individuals who are actively supporting the subversive goals
of the movement.
Priority investigative attention should*be given to individuals who
are known or suspected of being involved in subversive activities
which are of a clandestine, underground, or violent nature.
Limitations on investigations
All investigations conducted should avoid nebulous or sweeping inquiries
which are not relevant to objectives. Under no circumstances should

exchange ~ program) «
(4) Faculty members of institutions of learning.
FBIHQ approval is not required for investigation of student or
nonacademic employees of institutions of learning in the absence
of unusual circumstances. If during a pending investigation it
is discovered that the subject fits one of above categories,
“suspend active investigation and advise FBIHQ with recommendation
as to further action.
Members of United States armed forces

No investigation should be conducted of active or retired members

of United States military forces. If it is determined that a subject
fits in this category, terminate investigation and promptly furnish
pertinent data to appropriate counterintelligence branch of United

GENERAL GUIDELINES
Investigative jurisdiction

FBI investigations under this section are based on specific statutory
_ jurisdiction and Departmental instructions.

" Investigations conducted under this section are to be directed to the
gathering of material pertinent to a determination whether or not the
subject has violated, or is engaged in activities which may result in
a violation of, one or more of the statutes enumerated below; or in
fulfiliment of Departmental instructions.

"There are three principal statutes which provide a basis for these

investigations, as follows:

ae Rebellion or insurrection (T18, usc § 2383).

"Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion
or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the
laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined not
“ more than $10, 000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both;
and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

b. Seditious conspiracy (118, USC §" 2384). —

- "If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to over-
throw, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the
United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force
the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the
execution of any Law of the United States, or by force to seize, take,
or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority

| thereof, they shall each be fined not more than $20,000 or imprisoned
. not more than twenty years, or both.!

c. Advocating the overthrow of the Government (T18, USC § 2385).

"Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches
the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or
destroying the government of the United States or the government of
any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the
government of any political subdivision therein, by force or
violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such
government; or

“Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any
such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells,
distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter
advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability,
or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the
United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or

"Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society,

* group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate , Or encourage the
overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence;
or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society,
-group, ox assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof-~

"Shall be fined not more than $20,000 or imprisoned not more than
twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by

the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the
five years next following his conviction.

"If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this
section, each shall be fined not more than $20,000 or imprisoned

not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for
employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof,
for the five years next following his conviction.

"As used in this section, the terms 'organizes' and 'organizet, with
respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the
recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regroup-
ing or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of

such society, group, or assembly of persons.!'

The courts have interpreted this statute to require advocacy to
action, i-e., advocacy to do something, now or in the future, rather
than merely to believe in something.

In addition to the three principal statutes outlined above, there
are two other statutes which might provide a statutory foundation for
an ‘investigation under this section. These are:

d. The Internal Security Act of 1950[(T 50, USC, §§ 781-798) ]and the
Communist Control Act of 1954 (T 50, usc, §§{s4i-844). ]

In summary, these statutes make it unlawful to knowingly contribute
to the establishment of a totalitarian dictatorship within the
United States which is controlled by a foreign government, organi-
zation, or individual. The statutes also impose various restrictions
on the activities of members or organizations cited by the Subversive
Activities Control Board (SACB) as “communist action," "communist
front," or "communist infiltrated" groups. The restrictions apply
principally to employment by the Federal government or by a defense
facility. . ;
The former SACB cited only one organization, the Communist Party,
USA, which was named as a "communist action" group.
Prosecutive determination
All discussions pertaining to the prosecutive potential of investigations
initiated under this section will be conducted by FBIHQ with Departmental
officials. These cases should not be discussed with local U. S. Attorney's
office without FBIHQ approval.
Related statutes
There are a number of other statutes under the FBI's investigative
jurisdiction which should be borne in mind in handling these investigations.
Information concerning possible violations of such statutes is frequently
developed during these investigations. Where this occurs the field should
consider the desirability of conducting investigation in line with the
policies and procedures governing the statute in question.

A list of other Federal statutes which may arise during these investigations
is outlined in an appendix to this manual.

Definitions .

The term "subversive activities" as used in this section denotes

activities which are aimed at overthrowing, destroying or undermining the
Government of the United States or any of its political subdivisions by

the illegal means prohibited by statutes enumerated in A. 1. above. The
term "subversive organization" or "subversive movement" denotes a group

or movement which is known to engage in or advocate subversive activities,
as defined above.

ss® 87. INVESTIGATIONS OF sooviy: 87A
: ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS

Predication for investigation
In all cases handled under the provisions of this section, the first
communication prepared for outside dissemination (report or LHM) should
show specifically the statute upon which the investigation is based
' together with necessary supporting facts. Where investigation has been
specifically requested by Department, this should be indicated. The
following examples are illustrative; however, the basis for each
individual case must be tailored to the circumstances of such case.
ae "This investigation is based on information that the subject's
activities could involve violation of T 18, USC, § 2383 (Rebellion
or Insurrection), and § 2384 (Seditious Conspiracy). A source whose
reliability has not been determined has informed that the subject
is planning, along with others, to travel to Washington, D. C.,
on April 30, 1971, to participate in planned violent demonstrations
during the first week in May, 1971, to 'shut down the Government.'
Demonstration plans include the blocking of streets and highways,
destruction of personal and Government property, and physical
obstruction to prevent Government employees from reporting to work.'
b. "This investigation is based on information that the subject's .
activities could involve a violation of T 18, USC, § 2385 (Advocating
the overthrow of the Government}. The subject is an admitted member
€or has been identified as a member by a confidential source who
. has provided reliable information in the past) of (name of group).
The (mame of group) in its public statements and publications
advocates the desirability and necessity of overthrowing the U. S..
Government by force or violence, and the assassination of U. S.
Government officers. The same source has reported that the subject
actively supports these positions."

Where possible, the first intra~Bureau communication prepared which
indicates that investigation is being initiated Cintraoffice
memorandum, letter, airtel, teletype, etc.) should specifically
indicate the statutory basis for the investigation. However, there
may be occasions involving individuals or groups in contact with known
subversive elements where the purpose of. the contact is not initially
known and where a preliminary inquiry must be made to determine
whether a statutory basis exists for full investigation. In these
instances, a preliminary inquiry may be undertaken, through estab-
lished sources, for a period not to exceed 90 days, without specifically
indicating the specific statutory basis for the inquiry. If after the
conclusion of 90 days it has not been possible to establish a
statutory basis but further inquiry appears necessary, FBIHQ must

be furnished a succinct summary of the facts by letter together with
specific recommendations as to further action. In all cases, of
course, investigations must be based on indications that subject

may be engaged in subversive activity, whether or not a specific
statutory basis is cited.

In the event preliminary inquiries fail to establish a sound basis
for investigation, the case should be promptly closed and there is
* mo need to advise FBIHQ (unless FBIHQ has been previously advised
‘ of the inquiry). Nor is there any need to prepare an LHM or report
. where no pertinent subversive’ derogatory information has teen developed.

If the statutory basis for an investigation should change or be
expanded to include an additional statute or statutes, the first
communication prepared subsequent to such change or expansion should
specifically show such changes. Similarly, this information should
be included in the next report or LHM prepared in the case. ]

When information is received indicating that subversive group is
seeking to systematically infiltrate and control a nonsubversive.
organization, available data should be submitted by letter with
recommendations as to initiating active investigation. Recommendation
to undertake investigation should be supported by available background
information concerning target organization (including name and
locations, estimated membership, principal officers, and nature of
activities) and resume of extent of subversive infiltration efforts
(including identities of known subversives who have joined target
organization and positions held), provide brief statement as to
investigation planned. If approved by FBIHQ conduct discreet
investigation limited to determining and reporting activities which
are related to or in furtherance of subversive infiltration. These

instructions apply to local chapters or affiliates as well as national
organization.

be Caption and preface -

Captions of communications should show that subversive infiltration
of target organization is objective of investigation, not organization
itself, e.g., "Infiltration of (Name of target organization) by (Name
of subversive organization). All communications prepared for
dissemination should carry prefatory statement which clearly conveys
this point, e.g., "This investigation is directed solely towards
establishing the extent of infiltration, domination, or control of the
(Name of nonsubversive organization) by the (Name of subversive

‘ organization). It is not concerned with the normal activities of the
(Name of nonsubversive organization). In addition, preface should

succinctly show the predication for out investigation of the subversive
group involved.

c. Limitations on investigation
- (1) Other than with established sources, no interviews should be
initiated with members, leaders, or officers of infiltrated
organization without prior FBIHQ approval (except where they
can be handled by suitable pretext). However, this does not
preclude accepting information volunteered to FBI.

ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS
(2) Informants and sources should not be directed by FBI to join
‘ or participate in activities of target organization. However,
if subversive group requests informant to do so, latter may
comply.
(3) Be certain all persons interviewed, including informants, are
aware that FBI is not interested in normal activities of target
‘organization but solely in efforts to influence or control the
organization by subversive elements.
d. . Conversion to full scale investigation
If target organization becomes completely dominated and controlled by
subversive elements, advise FBIHQ on UACB basis that full investigation
is being initiated as subversive organization. Drop infiltration
designation from title of case.
. 5 Subversive publications .
t Bach office should review[any independent subversive lpublications produced
in its territory[(as contrasted with publications issued by subversive
L groups which are under investigation, see Bs 3. eo above) lto determine
whether any advocate violations within FBI jurisdiction. If so, submit
available information by LHM to FBIHQ with copy of pertinent material and
make recommendations as to further action. Insure that FBIHQ is aware of
all subversive publications with brief identifying data.
6. Investigative steps .
Efforts should be made to dévelop reliable informants at all levels and
in all segments of subversive organization. . . .
Live informant coverage should be supplemented by other logical investigation
including review of appropriate public records and publications,
interviews with former members of group and, on selective basis, through
such techniques as physical and photographic surveillance. .
7. Administrative and reporting procedures .
ae Reporting requirements and status :
When necessary data has been developed concerning organization's
[ activities (See B.[3.]Jabove), submit report. After initial report,
reports should be submitted semiannually (unless FBIHQ has instructed
otherwise in individual cases).. LHM may be used to provide FBIHQ or
other interested agencies with significant data of immediate interest
on an interim basis between reports.
be Informant coverage
Cover pages of reports should include a brief summary of informant
coverage available with respect to the organization, identifying
informants who report on the group's activities by symbol number and
showing specifically which informants are members of the group.
Cc. Topical headings
Both reports and LHMs should be organized under logical headings.
d.- Character . .
- All cases should use character "Internal Security," e.ge, "Communist
Party, USA; Internal Security." In case of subsidiary or front group,
character should show name or abbreviation of the parent organization,
e.g., "Young Workers Liberation League, Internal Security - CPUSA";
“young Socialist Alliance, Internal Security ~- SWP." Caption of
' subversive infiltration cases should include name of subversive group
and target organization, e.g+, ‘Infiltration of (Name of target
organization) by Socialist Workers Party, Internal Security - SWP.'

of the movement.
Priority investigative attention should be given to individuals who
are known or suspected of being involved in subversive activities
which are of a clandestine, underground, or violent nature.
Limitations on investigations
All investigations conducted should avoid nebulous or sweeping inquiries
which are not relevant to objectives. Under no circumstances should
an investigation be conducted of any individual merely on the basis
that such individual supports unpopular causes or opposes Government
policies.

nonacademic employees of institutions of learning in the absence
of unusual circumstances. If. during a pending investigation it.
is discovered that the subject fits one of above categories,
“suspend active investigation and advise FBIHQ with recommendation
as to further action.

Members of United States armed forces

No investigation should be conducted of active or retired members

of United States military forces. If it is determined that a subject

. fits in this category, terminate investigation and promptly furnish

/ pertinent data to appropriate counterintelligence branch of United

from records of private firms such as past or present employers.
Checks of credit agencies should be limited to securing identifying
information only.

Contacts with neighbors and fellow employees. Such inquiries
should be made only where there is expectation they wiil develop

(i)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Policy

Subjects of investigation should be interviewed[unless there

is a sound basis for not doing so.] Generally, interviews should
be considered after background inquiries have been completed

and a good picture of subject's activities developed.

if a decision not to interview a subject is made, this should be
fully explained in case file and FBIHQ advised whenever FBIHQ
is cognizant-of investigation.

- Purpose a

To develop information regarding subversive activities in which

the subject is engaged. .

Approval to interview : .

All interviews of subjects may be approved by SAC except following

instances which require FBIHQ approval:

(a) [Deleted]

(b) When subject is nationally prominent or where circumstances

; otherwise indicate the interview could be widely publicized,
such as labor leaders, educators, religious leaders or
journalists.

ad

[ - List above items by number but headings need not be restated.
t : If no pertinent data is available concerning a particular
item, so indicate.

. (b) Submit one copy of letter and additional copy of first page
only which can be returned by FBINQ stamped "Approved."

: (5) If interview not conducted within 60 days, submit letter advising
. FBIHQ:

(a) Reason interview not conducted.

(b) Any new information pertinent to desirability of interview.

(c) Whether efforts to interview subject will be pursued. There~
after, keep FBIHQ advised at least each 60 days as to progress

. . of matter.
(6) Conduct of interview.
(a) Interviews of subjects entitled to the warning and waiver
‘ shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements set
forth in Volume I, Manual of Instructions, Section 2B, .
page 15. If the interview is being conducted for intelligence
information rather than an admission or confession of
guilt, no warning is required. Moreover, if the investigation
has failed to develop information indicating a possible
violation of Federal law by the subject, it would be
. permissible to interview the subject without a warning as
he does not fit the criteria of those entitled to a warning
of rights. Carefully plan interview so there will be no
compromise of sources, sensitive techniques or interviewing
personnel. An overriding consideration to always bear in
mind is that interview should elicit from, not provide
information to the subject.
_(b) Interview at subject's place of employment should be
° avoided if possible. If attorney or aide is present during
. interview, interview must be conducted by two Agents.

(c). If, during conduct of interview subject desires that his
attorney or aide be present, the interview should be tact-
fully terminated, and FBIHQ should be informed with recommen
dation whether or not to resume interview.

Cd) In all other instances, SAC has responsibility and option
of deciding when two Agents should handle interview. Safety
of Agents is first priority to consider.

(7) Direction of subject's activities.

Prior FBIHQ approval is required before taking any steps to direct

the subject's activities even though he may appear to be cooperative

during the interview.
(8) Reporting results of interview.
: (a) Record results of interview on FD-302.

(b) Pertinent results of interview should be included in next
report or LHM unless circumstances indicate need for more
expeditious reporting. In cover letter or administrative
pages, include observations of interviewing Agents as to

. subject's cooperativeness, any relevant information
concerning subject's appearance or characteristics, and
assessment of information developed by interview in light
of other data known to your office. .

there is doubt as to which office should be origin, request FBIHQ to
designate office of origin.
Title of communications
Normally, only one subject should be carried in title of each report
or LHM and separate reports should be submitted for each subject
regardless of relationship. However, when reporting virtually
identical information concerning two related individuals (e.g., travel
data concerning a husband and wife) an exception can be made and
single LHM or report submitted. In such cases dual captions should
be used and an extra copy of communication provided. .
Classification - 100
Character
(1) Designation "Subversive Matter" (or abbreviation SM) should be
used in ali cases. Add organizational affiliation when chief
group with which subject is connected is under current investigation
or has approved thumbnail sketch.
Example: Subversive Matter ~ CPUSA
Subversive Matter ~ SWP
(2) Where meaningful organization affiliation cannot be shown,
use caption "Subversive Matter."
Copies of reports or LHMs
In all instances furnish four copies to FBIHQ to cover dissemination
to Department (2) and Secret Service (1). Where it appears dissemination
will be made to other agencies at FBIHQ level, furnish one additional
copy for each such agency involved. .
Status
Carry cases as pending until logical inquiries aimed at resolving
purpose of investigation have been completed. As minimum, case
should be kept pending until essential background data regarding
subject has been secured and sufficient information developed to present
good picture of nature and extent of subversive activities engaged in
by subject.
Closing and reopening of cases
If it is determined that subject's current activities do not involve
an actual or potential violation of one or more of the statutes
enumerated in A. 1. above, case should be closed.

Case may be reopened at a later date if additional information is
received which indicates subject's subsequent activities involve or

‘may result in a violation of the statutes cited in A. li.

Subject traveling abroad (Also see section 105G volume IV,-of this
manual).
Take following action when information is received that subject of
current investigation intends to travel abroad or has departed on foreign
travel Cexcept where travel is of brief duration and is known to be’
for’ innocuous purpose, such as vacation):
(1) Immediately notify FBIHQ of available details concerning travel,
including places and dates of departure and intended return,
- destination, itinerary, purpose of trip, and pertinent passport
‘data. Include full description of subject, including aliases.
Set out concise resume of available subversive data regarding
subject. Do not delay advising FBIHQ while developing details
if time is of essence.

tion from informants or surveillances is channeled to individual
case files, it should be documented.
(2) When preparing lengthy channeling memoranda reporting material of

If office of origin receives information that subject of current or
past investigation changes residence to territory of another division,
office of origin request verification within 30 days. If new residence
confirmed, office of origin submit FD~128 to transfer origin. [Office
of origin should furnish new office with any pertinent subversive data
which has not previously been reported in a form suitable for dissemina-
tion, or suitable for incorporation in an LHM or report.
pe Destruction of Channeling Memoranda ;
At the option of appropriate field supervisors, in order to avoid the
accumulation of channeling memoranda in a case file as well as to
facilitate the subsequent preparation of LHMs or reports, the following
procedure may be used: Files may be reopened for preparation of an
"investigative insert" for later inclusion in a LHM or report, using
T symbols identifying informants who have furnished prior information.
Agent preparing this insert should also prepare a cover memorandum
showing what serials in the file have been covered by his review and
also identifying all symbol number informants involved and indicating
the location of the original data (similar to documentation in the
cover pages of a report). The channeling memoranda covered in the
review can then be destroyed and the “investigative insert" along with
its cover memorandum can, if necessary, be forwarded to another field
division in the event the subject moves.

Dissemination to Secret Service

Under agreement between FBI and Secret Service concerning protective

responsibilities (set out in section 102, volume IV, of this manual),

reports and LHMs are disseminated to Secret Service both locally

and at FBIHQ in all cases which meet standards set forth. This

includes virtually all cases on individuals where any substantial

information exists as to subversive activities or sympathies of
subject. When photographs are available send copies to Secret

Service locally and to FBIHQ for dissemination at headquarters

level.

(1) Secret Service should be advised of reason for referral; isa.,
statement of class or classes of agreement which apply to
subject. FD-376 serves as letter of transmittal for both local
and FBIHQ dissemination. Forward original and one copy to FBIHQ
and maintain copy in case file.

(2) -After initial dissemination, as changes occur in residence and
employment, advise Secret Service locally by FD-366 and furnish
two copies to FBIHQ. FD~366 must be submitted even though changes
in residence and/or employment are noted in report or LEM being
submitted. ;

(3) For instructions governing dissemination to. Secret Service in

_ matters involving threats against President, refer to section
134B, volume IV, of this manual.

(4) Upon transfer of office of origin, old office of origin should
furnish Secret Service locally with subject's new residence and
business address by LHM or FD-~366. Provide copies to FBIHQ and
new office of origin for dissemination to Secret Service head-
quarters and branch office covering new residence, respectively.

(5) .As an administrative aid to insure proper dissemination, the file
covers of cases in which dissemination is being made to Secret

. Service may be stamped "SS."

3. Restrictions on field dissemination :

If security measures are known to be inadequate at local office of
another Government agency, do not disseminate locally, but bring matter
to attention of FBIHQ for headquarters dissemination.

E. ADMINISTRATIVE INDEX (ADEX)
1. Purpose and general policy
as To have a readily available and up-to-date listing of individuals
. deemed currently dangerous to the national security. Objective is to
.identify individuals who should be afforded priority investigative
coverage in the event of a national emergency.
be Under no circumstance should individuals be included in ADEX merely
because of their opposition to Government policies or because of the
exercise of their constitutional rights of protest and dissent.
ce ADEX is strictly an administrative device. It should not be treated
- as a factor in determining basic investigative decisions, i.e.,
whether an investigation should be opened or closed, the extent of
investigation to be conducted in a particular case, etc.
-2e Criteria ; ;

- ae .ADEX should include individuals whose actions or statements have
established that they represent a current threat to the national
‘security, i.e.,: .

Individuals (whether affiliated with organized groups or not) who
have shown a willingness and capability of engaging in treason,
rebellion or insurrection, sedition, sabotage, espionage, terrorism,
guerrilla warfare, assassination of government officials,.or other
such acts which would result in interference with or a threat to

the survival and effective operation of national, state or local
_ government.

In all of the above cases recommend removal from ADEX by FD-122 with

attached succinct summary of facts. In all instances except c., submit

current LHM or report for dissemination to Secret Service at FBIHQ and

also furnish report or LHM to Secret Service locally.

Reporting procedures on ADEX subjects

ae An initial summary report must be submitted at time subject is
recommended for inclusion in ADEX.

b. Additional reports should not be submitted solely for sake of reporting;
however, in the event complexity of case or other reasons so dictate,
the SAC or FBIHQ may instruct that reports be submitted.

ce Current significant pertinent information and/or activities of
subject should be reported on current basis as it occurs utilizing
teletypes, nitels or airtels with letterhead memoranda suitable for
dissemination. : -

d. In the absence of unusual circumstances (imprisonment, prolonged : -
absence on foreign travel, etc.), ADEX cases should be kept pending -
and-a communication submitted to FBIHQ at least every 90 days report- ad
ing on subject's activities. In the event subject has been inactive
for 90 days, you should comment as to whether continuation on
ADEX is warranted. ;

Reevaluation of ADEX status ;

Prepare administrative tickler concerning each ADEX subject to come up

at two-year intervals. This tickler, which is independent of any assign-

ment card, should prompt careful assessment of case to insure subject

still falls within ADEX criteria. .

; ( . 4A. GENERAL GUIDELINES :
. 1. ‘Investigative jurisdiction . :
FBI investigations under this section are based on specific statutory
jurisdiction and Departmental instructions.
Investigations conducted under this section are to be directed to the .
gathering of material pertinent to a determination whether or not the
subject has violated, or is engaged in activities which may result in
a violation of, one or more of the statutes enumerated below; or in i
fulfillment of Departmental instructions. ... . Se ee oo.

investigations, as follows:

ae Rebellion or insurrection (T18, USC § 2383).. .
“Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion
or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the
laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined not
more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both;
and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

b. Seditious conspiracy (T18, USC § 2384).
"If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to over-
throw, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the
United States, or to Levy war against.them, or to oppose by force
the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the
execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take,
or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority
thereof, they shall each be fined not more than $20,000 or imprisoned
not more than twenty years, or both."

ce Advocating the overthrow of the Government (T18, USC § 2385).
"Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches
the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or
destroying the government of the United States or the. government of
any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the
government of any political subdivision therein, by force or
violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such
government; or

"Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any
such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, selis,
distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter
advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability,
or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the

the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the
five years next following his conviction.

"If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this
section, each shall be fined not more than $20, 000 or imprisoned

not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for
employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof,
for the five years next following his conviction.

"As used in this section, the terms 'torganizes' and 'organize', with
respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the
recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regroup-
ing or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of

such society, group, or assembly of persons." . .

The courts have interpreted this statute to require advocacy to
action, ie@., advocacy to do something, now OF. in the future, rather
than merely to believe in something. ;

In addition to the three principal statutes outlined above, there
are two other statutes which might provide a statutory foundation for
. an investigation under this section. These are:
de The Internal Security Act of 1950 and the Communist Control Act
of 1954 (T50, USC §§ 781~810). .

Pare Pena nym rome pomen pay Gea ee geepermerytaneny — gpwoe | aoe same)

In summary, these statutes make it unlawful to knowingly contribute

- to the establishment of a totalitatian dictatorship within the
United States which is controlled by a foreign government, organi~
zation, ox individual. The statutes also impose various restrictions
on the activities of members or organizations cited by the Subversive
Activities Control Board (SACB) as "communist action," "communist
front," or "communist infiitrated" groups. The restrictions apply
principally to employment by the Federal government or by a defense
facility.

rain

The former SACB cited only one organization, the Communist Party, .
USA, which was named as a "communist action" group.
2. Prosecutive determination
All discussions pertaining to the prosecutive potential of investigations
initiated under this section will be conducted by FBIHQ with Departmental
officials. These cases should not be discussed with local U. S. Attorney's
office without FBIHQ approval.
3. Related statutes
There are a number of other statutes under the FBI's investigative
jurisdiction which should be borne in mind in handling these investigations.
Information concerning possibie violations of such statutes is frequently
developed during these investigations. Where this occurs the field should
consider the desirability of conducting investigation in line with the
policies and procedures governing the statute in question.

A list of other Federal statutes which may arise during these investigations
is outlined in an appendix to this manual. . .

SECTTON 87. INVESTIGATIONS OF SUBVERSIVE
\ ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIV J JALS

Definitions

The term "subversive activities" as used in this section denotes

activities which are aimed at overthrowing, destroying or undermining the

Government of the United States or any of its political subdivisions by

the illegal means prohibited by statutes enumerated in Ae 1. above. The

term "subversive organization" or "subversive movement" denotes a group -

or movement which is known to engage in or advocate subversive activities,

as defined above.

Predication for investigation

In all cases handled under the provisions of this section, the first

communication prepared which indicates an investigation is being initiated

Cintraoffice memorandum, letter, airtel, teletype or report) should

show specifically the statute upon which the investigation is based

together with all the supporting facts. Such a predication must be

included in the first communication to FBIHQ and the first report or LHM
prepared in each case. Where investigation has been specifically

requested by Department, this should be indicated in predication. The .

following examples are illustrative; however, the predication for each

individual case must be tailored to the circumstances of such case.

ae "This investigation is based on information that the subject's
activities may be in violation of T18, USC § 2383 (Rebellion or
insurrection), and § 2384 (Seditious conspiracy)» A source whose
reliability has not been determined has informed that the subject is
planing, along with others, to travel-to Washington, D. C., on April 30,
1971, to participate in planned violent demonstrations during the
first week in May, 1971, to 'shut down the Government.! Demonstra-
tion plans include the blocking of streets and highways, destruction
of personal and Government property, and physical obstruction to
prevent Government employees from reporting to work.!

b. "This investigation is based on information that the subject's
activities may be in violation of T18, USC § 2385 (Advocating the
overthrow of the Government). The subject is an admitted member .

Cor has been identified as a member by a confidential source who

has provided reliable information in the past) of (name of group).

The- (name of group) in its public statements and publications advocates
the desirability and necessity of overthrowing the U. S. Government by
force or violence, and the assassination of U. S. Government officers.
The same source has reported that the subject actively supports these
positions."

If the statutory basis for an investigation should change.or be expanded
to include an additional statute or statutes, the first communication
prepared subsequent to such change or expansion should specifically show
such changes. Similarly, this information should be included in the next
report or LHM prepared in the case.

Accuracy of characterizations

Assure that statements relating to characterizations of an individual

or organization, or relating to affiliations with or membership in any

organization, are founded on a firm bases. Identify sources for such

characterizations or statements of affiliation or membership if such

characterizations, affiliations or memberships are not commonly and ~

publicly known. .

When information is received indicating that subversive group is
seeking to systematically infiltrate and control a nonsubversive
organization, available data should be submitted by letter with
recommendations as to initiating active investigation. Recommendation
to undertake investigation should be supported by available background ~

activities) and resume of extent of subversive infiltration efforts
(including identities of known subversives who have joined target
organization and positions held), provide brief statement as to
investigation planned. If approved by FBIHQ conduct discreet
investigation limited to determining and reporting activities which
are related to or in furtherance of subversive infiltration. These
instructions apply to local chapters or affiliates as well as national
organization.
Caption and preface
Captions of communications should show that subversive infiltration
of target organization is objective of investigation, not organization
itself, e.g., "Infiltration of (Name of target organization) by (Name
of subversive organization).'' All communications prepared for
dissemination should carry prefatory statement which clearly conveys
this point, e.g., "This investigation is directed solely towards
establishing the extent of infiltration, domination, or control of the
(Name of nonsubversive organization) by the (Name of subversive
organization). It is not concerned with the normal activities of the
(Name of nonsubversive organization).'t In addition, preface should

group involved...
Limitations on investigation
(1) Other than with established sources, no interviews should be
initiated with members, leaders, or officers of infiltrated
organization without prior FBIHQ approval (except where they
can be handled by suitable pretext). However, this does not
preclude accepting information volunteered to FBI.

organization but solely in efforts to influence or control the
organization by subversive elements.
d. Conversion to full scale investigation .
If target organization becomes completely dominated and controlled by
subversive elements, advise FBIHQ on UACB basis that full investigation
is being initiated as subversive organization. Drop infiltration
designation from title of case.
Se Subversive publications
Each office should review such publications produced in its territory
to determine whether any advocate subversion, violence, or violations
within FBI jurisdiction. If so, submit available information by LHM to
FBIHQ with copy of pertinent material and make recommendations as to
further action. Insure that FBIHQ is aware of all subversive publications
with brief identifying data.
6. Investigative steps ~
Efforts should be made to develop reliable informants at all levels and
in all segments of subversive organization.

-Live informant coverage should be supplemented by other logical investigation
including review of appropriate public records and publications, :
interviews with former members of group and, on selective basis, through
such techniques as physical and photographic surveillance. :

7. Administrative and reporting procedures -

ae Reporting requirements and status
When necessary data has been developed concerning organization's
activities (See B. 2. above), submit report. After initial report,
reports should be submitted semiannually (unless FBIHQ has instructed
otherwise in individual cases). LHM may be used to provide FBIHQ or
other interested agencies with significant data of immediate interest
on an interim basis between reports.

pb. Informant coverage

* Cover pages of reports should include a brief summary of informant

coverage available with respect to the organization, identifying
informants who report on the group's activities by symbol number and
showing specifically which informants are members of .the group. .

Ce Topical headings
Both reports and LHMs should be organized under logical headings.

d. Character
All cases should use character "Internal Security," e.g, "Communist
Party, USA; Internal Security." In case.of subsidiary or front group,
character should show name or abbreviation of the parent organization,
€ege, "Young Workers Liberation League, Internal Security - CPUSA";
"Young Socialist Alliance, Internal Security - SWP." Caption of

(3)

(4)

Policy .
Subjects of investigation should be interviewed in the absence of |
exceptional circumstances. Generally, interviews should be :

considered after background inquiries have been completed and a

of matter. :

(6) Conduct of interview. :

+ (a) Interviews of subjects entitled to the warning and waiver
shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements set
forth in Volume I, Manual of Instructions, Section 2B,
page 15. If the interview is being conducted for intelligence
information rather than an admission or confession of
guilt, no warning is required. Moreover, if the investigation
has failed to develop information indicating a possible
violation of Federal law by the subject, it would be
permissible to interview the subject without a warning as
he does not fit the criteria of those entitled to a warning
of rights. Carefully plan interview so there will be no -
compromise of sources, sensitive techniques or interviewing
personnel. An overriding consideration to always bear in
mind is that interview should elicit from, not provide
information to the subject.

(b) Interview at subject's place of employment should be :
avoided if possible. If attorney or aide is present during
interview, interview must be conducted by two Agents.

(c) If, during conduct of interview subject desires that his
attorney or aide be present, the interview should be tact-
fully terminated, and FBIHQ should be informed with recommen-
dation whether or not to resume interview.

(d) In all other instances, SAC has responsibility and option .

-of deciding when two Agents should handle interview. Safety
of Agents is first priority to consider.
(7) Direction of subject's activities.
Prior FBIHQ approval is required before taking any steps to direct

the subject's activities even though he may appear to be cooperative

during the interview.

(8) Reporting results of interview.

(a) Record results of interview on FD-302.

Cb) Pertinent results of interview should be included in next
report or LHM unless circumstances indicate need for more
expeditious reporting. In cover letter or administrative
pages, include observations of interviewing Agents as to
subject's cooperativeness, any relevant information
concerning subject's appearance or characteristics, and

‘quarters and branch office covering new residence, respectively.

(5) As an administrative aid to insure proper dissemination, the file
covers of cases in which dissemination is being made to Secret
Service may by stamped "SS."

3. Restrictions on field dissemination :
If security measures are known to be inadequate at local office of
another Government agency, do not disseminate locally, but bring matter
to attention of FBIHQ for headquarters dissemination. .

1. Purpose and general policy

ae To have a readily available and up-to-date ‘listing of individuals
deemed currently dangerous to the national security. Objective is to
identify individuals who should be afforded priority investigative
coverage in the event of a national emergency.

be Under no circumstance should individuals be included in ADEX merely
because of their opposition to Government policies orf because of the

- exercise of their constitutional rights of protest and dissent. .

ce. ADEX is strictly an administrative device. It should not be treated
as a factor in determining basic investigative decisions, i.e,
whether an' investigation should be opened or closed, the extent of-
investigation to be conducted in a particular case, "etc.

2. Criteria

a. ADEX should include individuals whose actions or statements have
established that they represent a current threat to the national
security, i-e@.,:
Individuals (whether affiliated with organized groups or not) who
have shown a willingness and capability of engaging in treason,
rebellion or insurrection, sedition, sabotage, espionage, terrorism,
guerrilla warfare, assassination of government officials, or other
guch acts which would result in interference with or a threat to
the survival and effective operation of national, state or local
government. ,

SECTION 87. INVESTIGATION OF SUBVERSIVE +7:
© ORGANIZATIONS AND ONT

This would include leaders of organizations whose aims include the over-

throw or destruction of the Government of the United States or the
government of any state, territory, district, or possession thereof,

or the government of any political subdivision therein, by unlawful’
means. The term "leaders" denotes those individuals, irrespective

of title, who are in a position to significantly influence the

policies or direct the activities of the group. Mere membership

in an organization, without the element of leadership or without a |
demonstrated willingness and capability described in paragraph a,

is not sufficient for inclusion in ADEX.

Individuals should be considered a "current threat!! to the national
security when reliable information has been developed that they have
engaged in activity or exhibited the requisite willingness and capability
falling within the above-described criteria during prior two years

and there is no indication they have ceased such activity. However,
there may be instances where retention of an individual in ADEX is
justified even though no pertinent information is available during

the prior two years. For example, such retention might be warranted, .
in the case of individuals who have gone into hiding, temporarily

left the country, or been imprisoned.

ADEX should not include individuals who may be ideologically committed
to a philosophy which calls for the downfall of our form of government
or which favors another form of society but who have not shown a current
willingness or capability of engaging in meaningful action to promote
theix beliefs. This might apply, for example, to rank-and-file members
of the Socialist Workers Party or the Communist Party, USA, or other
old-line revolutionary groups which have advocated an overthrow of

our present form of government but where subject's activity is

primarily ideological in nature and not oriented toward action. Each
case should be reviewed on an individual basis in the light of the
criteria enumerated above.

Recommendation for preparation of ADEX card

When dangerousness of subject has been established, office of origin
should prepare recommendation on FD=-122, in triplicate. Forward
original and copy to FBIHQ, and place copy in subject's file. —
Attach additional page or pages to FD~122 setting out succinct
summary of facts on which recommendation based.

Nonprosecutive summary report should be submitted when subject is
recommended for ADEX unless one was previously furnished to FBIHQ-
In latter instance, submit up-to-date report.

Do not delay recommendation for ADEX because of absence of complete
background or descriptive data.

Do not defer recommendation for ADEX because subject is missing,
temporarily out of the country, or in prison.

If FBIHQ approves recommendation, ADEX cards will be prepared ~
including two copies for field. Copy of FD-122 will be returned
stamped "ADEX card approved, copies attached." Check cards for
accuracye Place one in alphabetical section of field office ADEX
and other in either geographical section or unavailable section.
When subject is approved for ADEX, submit Security Flash Notice
(FD-165) to check records of Identification Division and post flash

-notice if fingerprints of subject are on file. FD~165 will be

returned if positive identification cannot be made. In latter event,

. S"CTION 87. SECURITY INVESTIGATIC’:

A. STAPUTES e .

~ There are four principal statutes to consider in security investigations:
Public Law 733 as implemented by Executive Order (EO) 10450, Smith Act of
1940, Internal Security Act of 1950 (TSA-50), and Communist Control Act of
1954, On occasion, other statutes may be applicable, such as seditious
conspiracy, treason, fraud against Government, and Registration Act.
1. Public Law 733 as implemented by EO 10450
President, by Executive Order 10450, dated 4-27-53, established govern~
ment-wide employee security program, based on authority and approach set
forth by Congress in Public Law 733, enacted on 8-26-50.

Section 8{a) of EO 10450 provides that investigations conducted pursuant
“to this order shall be designed to develop information as to whether em-—
ployment or retention in employment in Federal service of person being
investigated is clearly consistent with interests of national security.

Such information relates, among other things, to following:

eo, ; "iembership in, or affiliation or sympathetic association with,
. any foreign or domestic organization, association, movement,

group, or combination of persons which is totalitarian, Fascist,

Subjects not connected with institution of learning

When subject of investigation is not connected with an institution

of learning and interview of student, faculty member, or other

employee of institution of learning is desirad, prior Bureau author-

ity must be obtained except for established sources. When requesting
authority, furnish name, position, and @ positive statement concerning
person’s discretion and reliability.

U. S. Government employees, individuals having foreign diplomatic or

official status, employees of foreign official establishment, employees

of United Nations or international organizations, and members of

armed forces

If subject of investigation is or becomes employee of U. 8S. Government,

foreign official establishment, United Nations, or other international

organization, has foreign diplomatic or official status, or is member
of U. S. armed forces, advise Bureau and request authority for furthen

investigation. .

Policy

(1) Upon receipt of information indicating violation of this types,
jnitiate investigation under “Security Matter - Fraud Against
the Government" character and immediately advise Bureau,

(2) Investigate and report criminal fraud violation (such as con-~
cealment of arrests) arising during security-type fraud investi-
gation on same subject in conjunction with investigation of
security-type fraud. Bureau will present both violations to .

- + Department. If security-type fraud investigation is- discontinued,
handle criminal fraud separately following instructions in section
section 47, volume IIT, of this manual.

(3) rz admissible evidence developed does not warrant submission of
prosecutive summary report, submit resuits in investigative report.

Investigation . .

(1) fo establish jurisdiction, it is necessary to prove that form
was presented to Government agency for action or determination,
and this should be first investigative objective. If form
was not presented to Government agency, conduct no further inves-
tigation and so advise Bureau. :

(2) It must be established that subject actually signed form by
testimony of witnesses to signature, handwriting examination,
or other conclusive evidence. Original of form must be located,
Thoroughly interview any sources who furnished pertinent infor-
mation concerning subject during any previous investigation and
other potential witnesses to determine basis for each item of
pertinent information furnished and identities of other potential
witnesses.

(3} Where affiliation with subversive organizations is involved,
interview individuals who were members of same units as subject
for evidence of his membership, such as attendance at closed
meetings, payment of dues, holding of office, ete. If possible,
develop evidence to supplant pertinent information furnished by
current informants. Obtain prior Bureau authority to interview
subject. .

(4) Interview subject and potential witnesses furnishing pertinent
information under oath and obtain sworn signed statements if
possible. Exception may be made when interviewing established
sources, such as current informants, if oath and/or signed
statements not considered desirable under circumstances. Be
guided by instructions below concerning interviews with subjects
of security investigations when interviewing potential witnesses
with subversive backgrounds. :

Legal questions :

Tf question of law arises as to existence of violation, advise Bureau

and hold investigation in abeyance for Department's opinion. Depart-

ment has no fixed’ policy as to prosecution in these cases and desires
to consider each case. Submit basic facts concerning execution and:
filing of document and subversive activity denied in report for pres ~
entation to Department, evan thovngh basis for concealment or fraudu-
lent statement does not appear to be material.

\ a :

Cases reterreMl, military

Military intelligence agencies often refer cases for security
investigations under Delimitations Agreemant in which security-
type fraud violations are involved. If subversive information

does not warrant full security investigation but does indicate
possible fraud violation, advise interested agency that FBI's
investigation will be directed toward proving possible violation

of law and that any background investigation contemplated by

it pursuant to its administrative responsibilities will not
interfere with FBI investigation. Advise agency pertinent infor-
mation developed will be furnished and request agency to do likewise.
Immediately initiate security matter - fraud against the Government
investigation. If subversive information warrants full security
investigation and also indicates fraud violation, advise interested
agency that Bureau is initiating full security investigation in
conjunction with investigation of possible violation of law and
results will be furnished. Conduct expedite investigation to
determine subject's dangerousness and whether a fraud violation is
involved,

7. Submission of subversive derogatory information on individuals : ¢

Offices covering national or local headquarters of various sub-' °°
versive groups should promptly furnish Bureau names and identifying
data regarding persons affiliated with such groups, to include

basic revolutionary organizations, fascist-type organizations, black
extremist organizations, and front groups of these, Furnish Bureau
such information by letter and, where appropriate, indicate that list
of names is being furnished for Bureau indexing purposes.

Information from all sources should be reviewed to insure Bureau has
been furnished lists of all individuals affiliated with- organizations
enumerated in item a. Include information concerning 2 number of
individuals in one letter if possible. Set out sufficient identifying
data to facilitate check of Bureau files,.

names appearing on subsoription lists of subversive organizations
should be indexed in field office covering address shown for sub~
scriber but should not be forwarded to Bureau for indexing.

information only (name, address, former address, employment, former
employment)., Obtain and index as reference material publications of
subversive organizations and records of stats and Federal committees which

. have conducted hearings concerning subversive activities,

i Where vert tinent information is available in mecords of private firms, such
as past or. present employers, insurance companies, and merchants, contact
such firms provided it will not jeopardize investigation.

[ fate ja. Channelizing of information to case files

Membership or activity in subversive organizations should be chan-

nelized to main case files of individuals involved. Mimeographed form
FD-306 may be used provided it is limited to reporting attendance at
meetings. When information from informants or surveillances is chan-
nelized to individual case files, it must be documented. Coordinate --
information received from informants and confidential sources with

active investigation.

NW 88321 Docld:32989529 Page 1928

Preparation must be thorough and interview conducted so that
Agents will not be compromised, Bureau will not be embarrassed,
and informants will not be exposed, CPUSA has planned traps
for Agents attempting interviews with members by installing
recording machines in members't homes or endeavoring to have
interview observed by concealed third party.
Interviews should be conducted by two Agents. Agent experienced
in security investigations who is knowledgeable regarding de-
velopment of informants should conduct interrogation. Actual
approach need not be made by both Agents; one Agent may observe
from secure distance. (Two agents should be physically present
during interview or contact with known or suspected Nation of
Islam members in all cases. ) Background of subject and circum
stances will determine how approach should be handled,

circumstances indicate delicate situation and greater than usual
risks involved, such as labor leaders and individuals employed
in educational, mass media, religious, and publishing fields.
Terminate interview with active subversive if third person
arrives during interview. Furnish Bureau details and obtain
Bureau authority prior to reinterview.

Inform subjects connected with labor unions that Bureau is not
interested in employee-employer relations and is concerned only
with infiltration of labor unions by subversive elements.
Furnish no information and make nod statements to embarrass

‘Bureau. Questions should require-admission or denial by subject

of all pertinent items of subversive information unless to do
so would expose investigative techniques or security informants.

Ce Under no circumstances should individuals be included in “-ADEX, or
otherwise be the subject of investigative attention, merely because
of their opposition to Government policies or because of the exercise
of their constitutional rights of protest and dissent. The ADEX
is intended, and should be utilized, solely to list individuals who
constitute a potential or actual threat to the internal security of
the United States and/or whose activities and statements indicate that
they would resort to violent, illegal, or subversive means. - | i
d. Matters relating to the ADEX are not to be included in reports or i
LHMs prepared for dissemination outside the Bureau. If field office ;
believes that special circumstances justify discussion of ADEX with H
qualified representatives of other Federal agencies on strictly
confidential basis, furnish full facts to Bureau and request prior |
approval for such action. |

by automatic data processing and transmitted to field. An alphabetical
breakdown of true names and ail aliases of subjects is also main-
tained at Bureau.
In field office - 7
Index is maintained in three sections; geographical, unavailable,
and alphabetical sections.
(1) Geographical section
After receipt of two cards from Bureau and after descriptive data
has been added to one, file latter in geographical section (or
unavailable section, if applicable). Geographical. section is
broken down by residence address in accord with needs of each
office, eeg-, by state, county, city, or if needed, into
boroughs or suburbs» Cards are filed alphabetically under each
geographical breakdown. .

Cards will show "unknown" residence for subjects (a) whose
addresses are not known but prompt location within division

is expected and Cb) whose location in another division is being
verified. File in breakdown designated "Verification Pending."

(2) Alphabetical section
File duplicate card alphabetically in this section; there is no
other breakdown. .

(3) Unavailable section ;
Cards of individuals who are missing, out of the country, or
imprisoned are retained in unavailable section, broken down into
three subsections, as follows: .

(a) Missing subjects :
Subjects are not to be included in unavailable section- until

other action taken to neutralize their activities is handled, if
- possible, in such manner as to not destroy the opportunity to
penetrate an active espionage network. When submitting FD-122
regarding such individual, the words "Special Interest"? should
be typed in upper right portion and the abbreviation "ESP"
should be shown in the space provided after "Miscellaneous."
(2) U. S. Government employees .
The Department has requested regular advice as to the identities
of all U. S. Government employees whose names are listed in ADEX.
When submitting FD-122 regarding such individual, the words
"Special Interest" should be typed in upper right portion and
the abbreviation "GOV" should be shown in the space provided
after "Miscellaneous."

(3) Foreign government employees - .
In the event of a national emergency, special consideration should
be given to these individuals to insure that investigation or
other action taken to neutralize their activities is haridled so as
to minimize the possibilities of diplomatic repercussions. When
submitting FD-122 regarding such individual, the words "Special
Interest"! should be typed in upper right portion and the abbrevia~
tion "FGE'" shown in the space provided after "Miscellaneous."

(4) Pro-Cuban individuals .

. In the event of a limited emergency involving the U. S. and Cuba,
consideration should be given to affording special attention, to
the investigation of these individuals. This would include
individuals who are included in the ADEX solely on the basis of
pro-Cuban activities or sympathies as well as individuals who
are included in ADEX primarily because of other activities or
affiliations but who have shown a marked sympathy for the communist

’ regime in Cuba or who otherwise would be of special interest in
the event of aU. S.-Cuban conflict. When submitting FD-1l22
[ regarding such individual, the words "Special Interest" should be
[ typed in upper right portion and the abbreviation "CUB" should
be shown in the space provided after "Miscellaneous." .

FD-122 forms submitted relative to individuals in above "Special
Interest" classes should, in addition to listing the appropriate
abbreviation after "Miscellaneous," also indicate any other applicable
organizational or nationalistic affiliation. For instance, FD-122
concerning a leader of the Communist Party, USA, who is a Us. Se
Government employee, would carry the abbreviation "GOV" as a miscel-
laneous item (and would have "Special Interest" typed in upper right
portion) and in addition would be checked as to Communist Party affili-
ation. : .

Cards on "Special Interest" subjects should be filed in regular sequence
with other ADEX cards in both the geographical (or unavailable, if
applicable) and alphabetical sections and receive same handling as

other ADEX cards except for instructions set forth above. Automatic
Data Processing equipment at the Bureau will furnish on demand lists of
individuals in any one or all of above "Special Interest" ciasses.

ADEX cards for "Special Interest" subjects will bear appropriate code
letters in upper right portion designating type of case. When subject
no longer comes within one of classes of special interest, submit
FD-122 with words "Remove from Special Interest" typed after "Miscel~
laneous." If card should be placed in unavailable section, add

"Place in Unavailable Section.'"' When new cards are received from
Bureau, destroy old cards. :

He DISSEMINATION OF DATA DEVELOPED IN SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS
le Policy
Proper use of information received is foremost among Bureau's responsibilities.
information obtained during investigations should be forwarded to other
interested agencies in executive branch unless there are compelling reasons
not to do soe Delimitations Agreement and Presidential directives provide
for dissemination to other agencies which have present or potential interest

information relating to espionage, sabotage, subversive activities, and
related matters. ;

2. Bureau requirements

- All conceivable situations cannot be anticipated, however, following
instructions pertain to representative situations which occur frequently.
Basic rule is that security information must be furnished promptly to
interested agencies in executive branch. Term "interested agency” must
be interpreted in light of reason and common sense. Bring any unusual
situations to Bureau's attention promptiy for consideration.

branch having primary responsibility, even though allegations have not
*-Been fully resolved or verified. Specifically point out in such instances
that information has not been verified. If it is determined subject is

individual or group with security implications, immediately advise appropriate
local intelligence service, even though security aspects of contact have
not been resolved. Point out in such instances that information is
unverified and transmit any additional developments immediately.

Determine during security investigations whether subjects have any close
relatives in armed forces. Promptly call such associations to attention
of appropriate military intelligence services, together with pertinent

individuals where any substantial information exists as to subversive,
extremist, or revolutionary activities or sympathies on the subject's
_ part. Furnish Bureau extra copy of report or LHM in these cases,
C . (1) Secret Service must be advised of reason for referral; that is,

subjects Use FD~376, which serves as letter of transmittal for
both local and SOG dissemination. Forward original and one copy
to Bureau. Maintain copy in case file and upon transfer of origin,
furnish copy to new office of origin. Be certain individual is
properly categorized.

(2) If subject of prior investigation is being recommended for ADEX,
do not disseminate prior reports without first reviewing them
carefully to insure they meet current reporting standards and are
suitable for dissemination. If one or more prior reports are
found unsuitable for dissemination, prepare LHM containing the
pertinent information involved for dissemination to Secret Service
along with current reporte Forward copies of such LHM to Bureau for
SOG dissemination.

(3) After initial dissemination to Secret Service, as changes occur

in residence and employment , advise Secret Service locally by

FD-366 and furnish two copies to Bureaue

£. Lstter requesting Bureau authority for interview

(2)

In absence of special circumstances, include Pollowing state—-

ment in first paragraph of letter.

accordance with existing instructions relating to inter-
views of security subjects. If subject is cooperative,
no affirmative steps will be taken during initial inter-
-view to direct his activities and complete background in-
vestigation required by section 107C of Manuel of In-
structions will be conducted and Bureau will be requested
to authorize recontact with subject as PSI,

(vb) Form FD-336 contains above statement and may be used.
Statement in no way precludes interviewing Agents from
obtaining all subversive information subject is willing to
furnish or other data which will assist in determining
his potential as infarmant.

{c) If available, letter must contain following information:

I. Residence address, occupation, employment, race, date
and place of birth, citizenship, and status of health

TI. Marital status. If married, occupation, employment,
and race of spouse.

ITI. Length of time subject was member of or affiliated with
subversive organization and positions held. When in-
vestigation is based on circumstances other than mem-
bership or affiliation with subversive organizations,
briefly set forth facts.

IV. If married, state if spouse is or has been member of or
affiliated with subversive groups, positions held, and
period of such membership or affiliation.

v. Membership or affiliation of any other close relatives
in subversive groups

VI. (Information regarding defection, expulsion, inactivity, and
present sympathies of subject and, if married, of spouse

VIE. What is expected to be gained by interview a

{a) In each letter, pertinent information, if available, regarding ‘

seven items listed must be set out under appropriate number

but headings need not be restated. If no pertinent data is

available regarding any item, so indicate after number.
Letters must be personally approved by SAC. °
One copy of letter should only be first page of letter. When
unnecessary to issue specific instructions, Bureau will approve
request by stamping this page and returning by routing slip. :
When authorized, interview must be conducted within 45 days. “If
not possible, advise Bureau and indicate subject will be contacted
within 45 days. If interview has not been conducted at end of
s@cond period, request new authority. Include any new informa-
tion bearing upon advisability of interview.

g. Preparation for and conduct of interview

Preparation must be thorough and interview conducted so that
Agents will not be compromised, Bureau will not be embarrassed,
and informants will not be exposed. CGPUSA has planned traps

for Agents attempting interviews with members by installing
recording machines in members’ homes or endeavoring to have
interview observed by concealed third party. ;
Interviews should be conducted by two Agents. Agent experienced
in security investigations who is knowledgeable regarding de-"
velopment of informants should conduct interrogation, Actual

. approach need not be made by both Agents; one Agent may observe

from secure distance. (Bwo Agents should be physically present
during interview or contact with known or suspected Nation of
Islam members in all cases.) Background of subject and circum-
stances will determine how approach should be handled.

Cases referred by military

Military intelligence agencies often refer cases for security
investigations under Delimitations Agreement in which security-
type fraud violations are involved. If subversive information

does not warrant full security investigation but does indicate
possible fraud violation, advise interested agency that FBI's
investigation will be directed toward proving possible violation

of law and that any background investigation contemplated by

it pursuant to its administrative responsibilities will not
interfere with FBI investigation. Advise agency pertinent infor-
mation developed will be furnished and request agency to do likewise.
Immediately initiate security matter - fraud against the Government
investigation. If subversive information warrants full security
investigation and also indicates fraud violation, advise interested
agency that Bureau is initiating full security investigation in
conjunction with investigation of possible violation of law and
results will be furnished. Conduct expedite investigation to
determine subject's dangerousness and whether a fraud violation is
involved.

Offices covering national or local headquarters of various sub-
versive groups should promptly furnish Bureau names and identifying
data regarding persons affiliated with such groups, to include

basic revolutionary organizations, fascist-type organizations, black
extremist organizations, and front groups of these. Furnish Bureau
such information by letter and, where appropriate, indicate that list
of names is being furnished for Bureau indexing purposes.

Information from all sources should be reviewed to insure Bureau has
been furnished lists of all individuals affiliated with organizations
enumerated in item a. Include information concerning a number of
individuals in one letter if possible. Set out sufficient identifying
data to facilitate check of Bureau files.

Offices obtaining information regarding subversive affiliation of
individuals residing outside their territories should promptly advise
offices covering such persons! addresses,

names appearing on subscription lists of subversive organizations
should be indexed in field office covering address shown for sub-
seriber but should not be forwarded to Bureau for indexing.

Important subversive information concerning any individual and any
new subversive information concerning ean individual of importance
should be furnished Bureau expeditiously.

a. At Bureau .

Entire index is maintained on IBM tabulating cards, Security index

cards are printed by automatic data processing and transmitted to

field. An alphabetical breakdown of true names and all aliases of
subjects. is also maintained at Bureau for administrative _purposes.
b. In field office

Active security index in each field office is maintained in four

sections: geographical, alphabetical, unavailable, and special sec-

tions. Complete set of each field office's security index is also
maintained away from headquarters city in same manner as geographical
section with unavailable and special section cards filed in back.

(1) Geographical section .
After receipt of three security index cards from Bureau and after
necessary data have been added to two cards, file one in gao-
graphical section of index (except special section and un-
available section cards) and one in duplicate set maintained away
from headquarters city. Geographical section is broken down by
residence address in accordance with needs of each office. Where
logical, it should be broken down by state, county, city, and,
if needed, into boroughs or suburbs and precincts. Cards are
filed alphabetically under each geographical breakdown. Cards
in this section will be withdrawn and used by Agents should
apprehension of subjects become necessary.

Cards will show “unknown" residence for {a2) subjects whose
addresses are not known but prompt location within division is
expected and (b) subjects whose Location in another division
is in process of verification. File these cards in breakdown
designated "Verification Pending." With Bureau authority,
offices covering large industrial areas may set up second geo-
graphical section and file cards by subjects! employment.

" Depending on time of day apprehensions are initiated, geograph-
{cal-employment or geographical-residence section may be used.

(2) Alphabetical section

File duplicate card alphabetically in this section; there is no
other breakdown. Alphabetical card is control card. If card
is withdrawn from geographical section for apprehension, make
notation on alphabetical card,

£. Subject no longer dangerous or potentially dangerous
Frequently information is received or investigation develops that
subject is no longer threat to internal security by reason of
physical condition, defection, or expulsion from subversive move-
ment. Such defection may be shown by lack of activity and -obvious
disinterest over extended period or declaration of opposition to
principles of subversive movement.

When there is sufficient information regarding subjact's present
sympathies to conclude he should no longer be considered dangerous,
request authority for interview or advise Bureau why subject -should
‘not be interviewed. Bureau will not cancel security index card with-
out consideration being given to interview. If, upon interview, sub-
ject proves cooperative, advise Bureau by letter and recommend can-
cellation,.

{In all cases the recommendation for removal from the’ security index

should be made by FD-122 with attached succinct summary of facts on
which the recommendation is based. Submit abstract with FD- -122 used
to recommend removal from security index.]

g. Subjects removed from security index solely upon basis of application

, of security index criteria, with no affirmative indication of de- . .
fection
With passage of time, limits specified-in security index criteria will
operate to remove subjects even though there is no affirmative in>
dication, of defection. When recommending such removal, consider if
facts warrant inclusion of subject in section A of reserve index.
Following procedures are for subjects not being recommended for in-
clusion in section A of reserve index:

(1) When subjects are removed from security index solely on basis of

- application of criteria, retain security index cards. pearing de-
scriptive matter on reverse sides; i.e., cards previously filed
in geographical, special, or unavailable sections. Destroy cards
-previously filed in alphabetical section. Those offices main-
taining two sets of geographical cards should retain only one card,

(2) Mark "cancelled" across face of each card retained and file in

. _ reserve index, section B.

(3) Above instructions do not apply to individuals removed from
security index based upon activity in Nation of Tsiam. Their
cards should be destroyed.

ll... Priority apprehension program . . . .

a. Purpose -
Some security index subjects, because. of their $raining, violent
tendencies, or prominence in subversive activity, would be more
inclined or more capable of committing acts against U. 5S. in time
of national emargency than others. Such subjects must be immobilized
in least possible time. Individuals in security index tabbed
priority I, and possibly priority IIT, would be arrested first in
event of limited but grave emergency, probably without arrest of other
subjects. In all-out emergency, consideration for apprehension will

: be given to all subjects. Decision as to priority of apprehension
: should be based on subject's subversive activities and revolutionary
tendencies. .
b. Priority tabbing

(1) Each security index subject should be considered for priority I

tabbing who falls within following categories:

2 All top functionaries

b All individuals considered to be hard-core national and
state leaders of basic revolutionary organizations and
leaders of other subversive organizations and unorganized
groups and individuals who have indicated propensity for
violence and/or have received special training in sabotage,
espionage, and/or guerrilla warfare, or have engaged in
underground operations

(o) Individuals employed in or having access to key facilities (

Security informants

Information developed through security informants is unsurpassed in-

value both for intelligence purposes and as admissible evidence,,.

Physical surveillances

Physic2l surveillances should be used when, in opinion of SAC, infor-

mation of sufficient value might be obtained to justify their use in

light of existing circumstances and available manpower.

a. When information is received that meetings of subversive organiza-~
tions are to take place, physical surveillances should be considered
to corroborate such information and identify participants.

b. Surveillances of individuals in leadership or underground capacities
serve to idantify others within movement.

c,. Success of surveillances depends upon resourcefulness of Agents who iH
must at all times exercise sound judgment and discretion. Be alert i
to observe activity of subject and countersurveillances which may ;
be used to identify Agents and embarrass Bureau.

6. Photographic surveillances
Photographic evidence of mestings between “ndividuals or which shows sub-
jects entering or leaving meeting places of subversive organizations af~-
fords convincing and admissible evidence to establish subversive activ-
ities. Prior Bureeu authority is needed for photographic surveillances.
of meetings and they must be properly correlated with other investi-

" gative techniques. to obtain maximum evidence. Conceal equipment to avoid
detection by subjects or other individuals in proximity of surveillance.

7. ‘Public sources :
Make use of all logical public sources of information. Obtain background |
and lineage data from birth records and local bureaus of vital statistics,
credit agencies, state records, public utility records, and school records,
Obtain and index as reference material publications of subversive organ-
izations and records of state and Federal committees which have conducted

. hearings concerning subversive activities. -

8. Records of private firms
Where pertinent information is available in records of private firms, such
as past or present employers, insurance companies, and merchants, contact
such firms provided it will not jeopardize investigation.

gS. Channelizing of information to case files
Membership or activity in subversive organizations should be channelized
to main case files of individuals involved. Mimeographed form FD~306
may be used provided it is limited to reporting attendance at meetings.

When information from informants or surveillances is channelized to indi~-
vidual case files, it must be documented. Coordinate information received
from informants and confidential sources with active investigation. :

10. Preservation of evidence

Bear in mind necessity of obtaining admissible evidence.

a. Identify, preserve, and maintain continuity of evidence obtained for
possible admission in Federal proceedings. Identify specificaily as
to source and date.

be. Notes or statements from informants necessary to refresh their recol-
lection if called to testify must be in sufficient detail to serve
this purpose and contain no material which would make their use
inadvisable or inadmissible.

e¢. Informant'ts original notes or statements are not to be blocked, stamped,
serialized, or mutilated in any way which would render them unsat- -
isfactory for use in Federal proceedings.

ad. Above also applies to Agent's notes taken during surveillances or
concerning evidence otherwise obtained. . (

(4) In all instances there must be clear sHowing, by overt acts or
statements or other evidence, that there has been continuing
synpathy for aims and objectives of Cuban Government since
10-1-60. Citizenship status must be clearly established.

c. Pro-Cuban activity

ALL individuals in security index-under basic criteria (item 3a,

above) should be tabbed "Pro~Cuban" if by their activities and sym—

pathies they warrant special consideration in event of limited emar—
gency involving Cuba and U. S. This tabbing includes Cubans and non-

Cubans who have engaged in activities in support of Cuban Government

or pro~Castro groups. For this tabbing, submit FD-122 to Bureau with ~

notation "Pro-Cuban" typed opposite words “Miscellanzous-(specify).*
Attach page containing concise summary of facts supporting recommen~
dation, Security index cards sent to field on such subjects contain
letter "C" on left side of card at beginning of second line, These
cards are not kept in "Cuban" special section but are tabbed with
metal tabs. .

ad. Evaluating interviews for security index status

(1) Positive statement to interviewing Agents clearly indicating ad-—

herence to doctrines, aims, or purposes of revolutionary organ-
ization or front organization shall be considered overt act.
(2} Other than above, interviews are not factors in making determi-
nation as to security index; e.g., lack of cooperation or partial
: cooperation are not factors
e. Effect of resort to fifth amendment
Department has advised resort to fifth amendment by witness appearing

before governnental body should be considered overt act within security

index criteria (1) when subject was asked directly concerning present
membership in subversive organization and (2} when question calls for

response as to past membership in organization in those cases in which

available information would seem to bring subject within criteria ex-
cept for overt act within required period, ‘

£. Activity in Nation of Islam and other black nationalist extremist
groups
Department has advised Nation of Islam constitutes potentially ‘danger-
ous instrumentality in event of national emergency; statements and
activities of individuals in Nation of Islam indicating anarchist and
revolutionary beliefs should be considered in making judgment as to
whether or not member should be in security index. Give particular
attention to developing and reporting such statements, including vio-
lent and revolutionary statements made by other members in subject's
presence. Statements should be reported in detail. Apply these in~-
steuctions to other black nationalist extremist groups.

Recommendations for and preparation of security index cards

2. SAC must personally recommend inclusion in and removal of any name
from security index except in offices’ having more than 1,000 security
index subjects, where recommendations can be made by SAC, ASAC, or
Bureau~approved security supervisor.

b. Where potential dangerousness of subject has been established, office
of ‘origin is to submit recommendation to Bureau on form PD-122, in
triplicate. Forward original and copy to Bureau, and place copy in
sabject's file. Nothing should appear on FD-122 which is not in sub-
jectts file. FD-122 has two uses: (1) te recommend subject for
security index and (2) to submit changes for existing cards. Submit
abstract when recommending subject for security index but no abstract
for additions, deletions, or changes.

ce. When FD-122 is subnitted to recommend subject for security index, attach
additional page or pages setting out succinct summary of facts on which

recommendation based, Facts must be in sufficient detail to support
recommendation, including justification for designated priority level |

for apprehension, Statements of conclusion are not enough and original

. Sources must be characterized as to reliability. Summary must show
pertinent data of subject's activities.

Ll. Policy

Proper utilization of information received is foremost among Bureau's
responsibilities. Information obtained during investigations should

be forwarded to other interested agencies in executive branch unless
there are compelling reasons not to do so. Delimitations Agreement

and Presidential directives provide for-dissemination to other agencies
which have present or potential interest information relating to espionage,
sabotage, subversive activities, and related matters,

Bureau requirements

Because all conceivable situations cannot be anticipated, data below
pertains to representative situations which occur frequently. Basic
rule is that security information must be furnished promptly to inter-
ested agencies in executive branch. Term “interested agency" must be
interpreted in light of reason and common sense. Bring any unusual
Situations to Bureau's attention promptly for consideration,

nN
.

Considerations affecting national defense in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto
Rico necessitate broadest possible construction to requirements for
dissemination to intelligence services in those areas. See Manual of
Rules and Regulations, part II, section 5, pertaining to Bureau's
overall resvonsibilities, policies, and exce ptions in dissemination. :
a, Members of armed forces i
Delimitations Agreement between FBI and armed forces intelligence i
agencies (see section 102B, volume IV, of this manual) requires :
each agency to exchange freely and directly with other subscribing ;
agencies all information of mutual interest. Any information }
developed concerning members of military services must be referred i
immediately to appropriate military branch having primary respon- ;
sibility, even though allegations have not been fully resolved or :
verified. Specifically point out in such instances that infor- i
mation has not been verified. When it is determined security ;
subject is member of armed services, discontinue investigation i
immediately, advise Bureau, and disseminate pertinent reports. ;
locally to appropriate intelligence agency. Dissemination regarding j
military personnel is not confined to subjects of security investi- i
gations but extends to any. subversive data developed against member i
of armed services during FBI investigations. If member of armed i
forces has been in contact with security subject or any individual
or group with security implications, immediately advise appropriate 3
local intelligence service, even though security aspects of contact :

STATUTES
There are four principal statutes to consider in security investigations:
Public Law 733 as implemented by Executive Order (BO) 10450, Smith Act of
1940, Internal Security Act of 1950 (ISA-50), and Communist Control Act of
1954. On occasion, other statutes may be applicable, such as seditious
conspiracy, treason, fraud against Government, and Registration Act.
1. Public Law 733 as implemented by EO 10450 .
President, by Executive Order 10450, dated 4-27-53, established govern—
ment—wide employee security program, based on authority and approach set
forth by Congress in Public Law 733, enacted on 8~—26~-50,.

Section 8{a) of EO 10450 provides that investigations conducted pursuant
to this order shall be designed to develop information as to whether em-
ployment or retention in employment in Federal service of person being
investigated is clearly consistent with interests of national security.
Such information relates, among other things, to following:

"Membership in, or affiliation or sympathetic association with,

any foreign or domestic organization, association, movement,

group, or combination of persons which is totalitarian, Fascist,

communist, or subversive, or which has adopted, or shows, a

policy of advocating or approving the commission of acts of

force or violence to deny other persons their rights under the

Constitution of the United States, or which seeks to alter the

form of government of the United States by unconstitutional

means," .

Attorney General's part of employee security program consists of making
Pull field investigations through FBI; maintaining list of totalitarian,
fascist, communist, or subversive organizations; and giving agencies
advice in establishing and maintaining their security programs,

2. Smith Act of 1940 (Title 18, USC, § 2385}. Advocating overthrow of Govern—
ment so
Smith Act prohibits knowingly advocating or teaching overthrow of Govern
ment by force or violence; publishing or circulating written or printed
material with intent to cause such overthrow; attempting to organize
group of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage such overthrow; and
conspiring to commit these offenses, Penalty for conviction carries fine
of not more than $20,000 and/or imprisonment for not more than 20 years
and shall be inelegible for employment by U. S. or any department or
agenoy thereof for five years next following his conviction. Decisions

- by Supreme Court on 6-7~57 and 6-5-61 established new evidentiary stand—
ards, such as proof of incitement to action, which must be met by Govern—
ment in future prosecutions under this act. -

3. Internal Security Act of 1950 ete 50, USC, §§ 781-816)

Internal Security Act of 1950 (ISA-50) became effective 9-23-50. It gen-
erally provides for registration of communist—action and communist front
organizations; amends obstruction of justice statute; implements espionage
and sabotage statutes and various immigration, and naturalization regula—
tions; prohibits contributing to establishment of totalitarian dictator—
ship; and provides for detention of individuals in case of national
emergency, Act was amended 1~2-68 to delete requirement that communist
organizations and their members register with Attorney General, a pro~
cedure ruled unconstitutional by Supreme Court because it violated con-
stitutional rights against self-incrimination. This manual section is
limited to ISA-50 provisions pertaining to communist~-action organizations,
communist front organizations, contributing to establishment of total—
itarian dictatorship, and detention of individuals in case of emergency.

marily to advance objectives of world communist movement.

(2) Factors to be considered by Subversive Activities Control Board ¢
(SACB) in determining whether organization is communist~action ’
organization (§ 792)

SACB considers relationship of organization under review to for-
eign organization or foreign government described in above def-
inition in regard to policies, activities, accountability, train-
ing received, financial support, concealment of foreign direction,

ment or Poreign organization. . :

be. Gommunist front organizations
(1) Definition (§ 782) .

communist foreign government, or world communist movement. — .

c. How proceedings are instituted (§ 792) tg

nation that such is true by hearing before SACB.

Policy

2) Upon receipt of information indicating violation of this type,
initiate investigation under "Security Matter ~ Fraud Against
the Government" character and immediately advise Bureau.

(2) Investigate and report criminal fraud violation {such as con-
cealment of arrests } arising during security-type fraud investi-
gation on same subject in conjunction with investigation of
security~type fraud. Bureau will present both violations to

Department. If security-type fraud investigation is discontinued,

handle criminal fraud separately following instructions in section
section 47, volume II, of this manual,
(3) If admissible evidence developed does not warrant submission of

prosecutive summary report, submit results in investigative report.

Investigation .

(1) To establish jurisdiction, it is necessary to prove that form .

: was presented to Government agency for action or determination, |
and this should be first investigative objective. If form
was not presented to Government agency, conduct no further inves~
tigation and so advise Bureau.

(2) It must be established that subject actually signed form by
testimony of witnesses to signature, handwriting examination,
or other conclusive evidence. Original of form must be located.
Thoroughly interview any sources who furnished pertinent infor-
mation concerning subject during any previous investigation and
other potential witnesses to determine basis for each item of
pertinent information furnished and identities of other potential
witnesses, :

(3) Where affiliation with subversive organizations is involved,
interview individuals who were members of same units as subject
for evidence of his membership, such as attendance at closed
meetings, payment of dues, holding of office, etc. If possible,
develop evidence to supplant pertinent information furnished by
current informants. Obtain prior Bureau authority to interview
subject. .

(4) Interview subject and potential witnesses furnishing pertinent
information under oath and obtain sworn signed statements if
possible. Exception may be made when interviewing established
sources, such as current informants, if oath and/or signed
statements not considered desirable under circumstances. Be ~
guided by instructions below concerning interviews with subjects
of security investigations when interviewing potential witnesses
with subversive backgrounds.

Legal questions

Te question of law arises as to existence of violation, advise Bureau.
and hold investigation in abeyance for Department's opinion. Depart-
ment has no fixed policy as to prosecution in these cases and desires
to consider each case. Submit basic facts concerning execution and
filing of document and subversive activity denied in report for pres~
entation to Department, even though basis for concealment or frady
lent statement does not appear to be material.

of law and that any background investigation contemplated by
it pursuant to its administrative responsibilities will not-
interfere with FBI investigation. Advise agency pertinent infor-
mation developed will be furnished and request agency to do likewise.

ated with, one of basic revolutionary and/or front organizations.

Some more common types of evidence are:

(a) Oral or written statements or admissions of subject made

While none of the above may be of sufficient value alone, a
combination may constitute convincing proof. Revolutionary
purposes of subversive organization are frequently cloaked in
veiled language or in language significant only to persons
familiar with Marxist or revolutionary terminology. Such
statements should be fully reported. Develop and report all
revolutionary statements and circumstances under which made.

(3) Position and importance
(a) Information showing importance of individual to sub--

versive organization or movement should be fully developed
and reported, Member or affiliate may be dangerous or .
important because of his position, influence, or activities
inside or outside organization, or both.

(b} Concealment of membership and underground activity
Member or affiliate may be highly dangerous although he
takes no part in overt activities of organization. Subject

-may have assignment in underground and is not to contact

or associate openly with others in subversive movement. By
virtue of this assignment in secret operations, such in-
dividuals must be considered most dangerous, Be continually
alert that individual may be serving in underground capacity.
ALL logical investigative techniques should be used to de-
velop fully individual's activities in underground; identities
of other individuals engaged in underground operations; and |
method of operation, extent, and purposes of underground,
Coverage must be sufficient to insure underground activities
of subversive movement are known. Identities of individuals
who are directing underground operations; location of hiding
places of fugitives and underground leaders; and Locations

or secret printing presses, mimeograph machines, and large
‘stationery supplies must be known at all times.

ec. Missing security subjects

(1) Location of all dangerous subversives must be known at all times.
Hach subject remaining out of control at time of national emer-
fency represents threat to national security.

(2) When subject of pending investigation fits standards for security
index and his location is not known, recommend for unavailable
section of security index,

(3) When information is received that security index subject has
changed his residence and/or employment, case must be opened
and assigned for active investigation to locate subject.

{4) If subject has deliberately absented-himself to avoid detection
by us, has gone into hiding, or is working clandestinely in
underground capacity, he can be classified as missing subject
and should be included in unavailable section of security index.
When FD-122 is submitted to Bureau placing missing subject in
unavailable section, also send cover letter advising of investi-
gative steps already taken to locate him.

(5) Investigations to locate missing security index subjects must. be
fiven preferential and continuous attention. Investigation must
be handled as thoroughly and promptly as fugitive investigation.
(2) Advise Bureau each 45 days by letter of steps taken to

locate missing security index subject. Do not submit
reports which merely set forth negative results of investi-
gation to locate subject,

(b) If subject my have gone to Mexico or Canada, request Burean
to alert appropriate Government agencies to this possibility
and to seek verifying information through liaison channels.
If subject is reported to have gone to any other foreign
country, request Washington Field Office (WFO) to check
records of Passport Office of State Department for verifi-
cation.

abroad on separate numbered page, captioned "Leads," at end of LH.

Request should not‘refer to legal attache or request investigation

by particular agency abroad.

(4) Subsequent report in individual case should contain details
regarding subject's travel. In nonsecurity index cases where

(6) Advise Bureau promptly by LHM of subject's return from travel
abroad. If such individual has traveled behind Iron Curtain,
- also furnish Bureau recommendations as to interview and state
whether additional investigation is contemplated.
File reviews
Check office indices and review files thoroughly for pertinent infor-
mation showing background and subversive activity. Include information
in initial report. After each check and review of files has been made,
consolidate reference cards pertaining to subject in indices.
Security informants
Information developed through security informants is. unsurpassed in:
value both for intelligence purposes and as admissible evidence.
Physical surveillances .
Physical surveillances should be used when, in opinion of Sac, infor-
mation of sufficient value might be obtained to justify their use in

light of existing circumstances and available manpower. -

a. When information is received that meetings of subversive organiza~
tions are to take place, physical surveillances should be considered
to corroborate such information and identify participants.

be. Surveillances of individuals in leadership or underground capacities
serve to identify others within movement,

Go. Success of surveillances depends upon resourcefulness of Agents who
must at all times exercise sound judgment and discretion. Be alert
to observe activity of subject and countersurveillances which may
be used to identify Agents and embarrass Bureau,

Photographic surveillances :

Photographic evidence of meetings between individuals: or which shows sub-

jects entering or leaving meeting places of subversive organizations af-

fords convincing and admissible evidence to establish subversive activ-

ities. Prior Bureau authority is needed for photographic surveillances .

of meetings and they must be properly correlated with other investi-~

gative techniques to obtain maximum evidence. Conceal equipment to avoid
detection by subjects or other individuals in proximity of surveillance.

Public sources

Make use of all Logical public sources of information. Obtain background

and lineage data from birth records and local bureaus of vital statistics,

credit agencies, state records, public utility records, and school records.

Obtain and index as reference material publications of subversive organ-

izations and records of state and Federal committees which have conducted

hearings concerning subversive activities.

Records of vrivate firms

Where pertinent information is available in records of private firms, such

as past or present employers, insurance companies, and merchants, contact

such firms provided it will not jeopardize investigation.

Channelizing of information to case files

Membership or activity in subversive organizations should be channelized

to main case files of individuals involved. Mimeographed form FD~306

may be used provided it is limited to reporting attendance at meetings.

When information from informants or surveillances is channelized to indi-

vidual case files, it must be documented. Coordinate information received

from informants and confidential sources with active investigation.

Preservation of evidence

Bear in mind necessity of obtaining admissible evidence.

a. Identify, preserve, and maintain continuity of evidence obtained for
possible admission in Federal proceedings. Identify specifically as
to source and date. ' .

be. Notes or statements from informants necessary to refresh their recol-
lection if called to testify must be in sufficient detail to serve
this purpose and contain no material which would make their use
inadvisable or inadmissible. . .

c. Informant's original notes or statements are not to be blocked, stamped,
serialized, or mutilated in any way which would render them unsat-
isfactory for use in Federal proceedings.

ad, Above also applies to Agent's notes taken during surveillances or
concerning evidence otherwise obtained.

ad.

Ge

Policy

No security investigation of an individual is to be closed unless

subject is included in security index or consideration given to

interview. Bureau will not authorize cancellation of security index
eard for inactivity until subject has been interviewed or Bureau
advised why interview is inadvisable. :

Purpose

(1) When investigation is inconclusive, to determine subject's
sympathies and whether he continues to adhere to revolutionary
doctrines .

(2) fo develop information concerning activities of subject and his’
associates in subversive movement

(3) To develop informants

SAC authority

Without Bureau authority SAC may:

(1) Authorize interviews with individuals who have not been subjects
of security investigations and available information does not
warrant opening case

(2) Authorize interviews of subjects of security cases who have
previously been interviewed with Bureau authority, provided no
change has taken place in subject's status and interviews are
conducted under same conditions as previously authorized

(3) Authorize interviews of subjects of closed security cases in-

- . @Lluding persons who were on security index but were removed

(4) Authorize interviews of rank-and-file black extremists except
as noted in section 122, volume IV, of this mannal

Procedures for interviews under SAC authority

(1) If there is closed file, reopen it.. If none, open case in 134

: category to resolve whether subject is identical with information
in files and determine his current employment and residence,

(2) Case Agent will prepare memorandum requesting SAC authority to

_conduct interview of subject to determine his attitude towards
cooperation with FBI.

(3) During first contact Agent should identify himself, outline
Bureau's responsibilities in security field, and request subject's
assistance. If individual has been member of basic revolutionary
organization and appears cooperative, he may be questioned about
his own activities. However, this interview is for sole purpose
of determining whether subject might be cooperative.

(4) If cooperative, advise Bureau and conduct background investigation

- under section 107, volume IV, of this manual, If, uncooperative,
prepare brief memorandum for file and close case. -Letter to
Buseau not necessary. :

Prior Bureau authority oF

Prior Bureau authority required for:

{1) Subjects of active current investigation where no prior Bureau
authority has been obtained

(2) Closed cases on current security index subjects where no prior

interview has been conducted .
(3) Subjects of investigations requested by Bureau, both open and
. closed, such as applicant and loyalty cases
(4) Individuals when circumstances indicate delicate situation and
- greater than usual risk involved, such as labor leaders and
. individuals in educational, mass media, religious, or publish-
ing fields. Bureau authority needed even though there were
wo prior interviews.
5 Security subjects who have publicly disclosed previous contacts
6 Subjects of section A reserve index cards .

In above cases, no report need be submitted when requesting Bureau
authority to interview subject. . — :

£. Latter requesting Bureau authority for interview
(1) In absence of special circumstances, include following state - .
ment in first paragraph of letter. ’ (
(a) Bureau authority is requested to interview subject in
accordance with existing instructions relating to inter-
views of security subjects, If subject is cooperative, =
‘no affirmative steps will be taken during initial inter- .
view to direct his activities and complete background in-
vestigation required by section 107C of Manual of In-
structions will be conducted and Bureau will be requested . .
to authorize racontact with subject as PSI. .
(b) Form FD-336 contains above statement and may be used.
Statement in no way precludes interviewing Agents from
obtaining all subversive information subject is willing to
furnish or other data which will assist in determining
his potential as informant.
{c) If available, letter must contain following information:
I. Residence address, occupation, employment, race, date
- and place of birth, citizenship, and status of health
IL. Marital status. If married, occupation, employment,
and race of spouse, :

TTI. Length of time subject was member of or affiliated with
subversive organization and positions held. When in-
vestigation is based on circumstances other than mem-
bership or affiliation with subversive organizations,
priefly set forth facts.

IV. if married, state if spouse is or has been member of or
affiliated with subversive groups, positions held, and
period of such membership or affiliation.
V. Membership or affiliation of any other close relatives
in subversive groups .
VI. Information regarding defection, expulsion, inactivity, and
. present sympathies of subject and, if married, of spouse ;
VII. What is expected to be gained by interview ~- H
(a) In each letter, pertinent information, if available, regarding
seven items listed must be set out under appropriate number
but headings need not be restated. If no pertinent data is
available regarding any item, so indicate after number.
2 Letters must be personally approved by SAC.

- One copy of letter should only be first page of letter. When
unnecessary to issue specific instructions, Bureau will approve
request by stamping this page and returning by routing slip.

(4) When authorized, interview must be conducted within 45 days. If .
not possible, advise Bureau and indicate subject will be contacted
within 45 days. If interview has not been conducted at end of
second period, request new authority. Include any new informa-
tion bearing upon advisability of interview.

g. Preparation for and conduct of interview

1) Preparation must be thorough and interview conducted so that
Agents will not be compromised, Bureau will not be embarrassed,
‘and informants will not be exposed. CPUSA has planned traps
for Agents attempting interviews with members by installing
recording machines in members' homes or endeavoring to have
interview observed by concealed third party.

(2) Interviews should be conducted by two Agents. Agent experienced
in security investigations who is knowledgeable regarding de-
velopment of informants should conduct interrogation. Actual
approach need not be madeo by both Agents; one Agent may observe
from secure distance. (Two Agents should be physically ‘present
during interview or contact with known or suspected Nation of
Islam members in all cases.) Background of subject and circum
stances will determine how approach should be handled.

h. Reporting results of interview

S' ION 87, SECURITY INVESTIGATIC 3

Interviews of active communists should be conducted at secure
place other than subject's residence or place of employment,
Tf reasonable effort has been made for such approach and it is |

- not practical, set forth circumstances and request Bureau au-

thority to make contact at home or place of business explain-
ing any need to contact employer, Letter should contain state-
ment that, if subject appears cooperative, arrangements will
be made for another interview at secure place away from resi-
dence or employment, if necessary, to determine fully degree of
cooperation. vw
If subject cooperative upon initial contact, further contact
may be had without Bureau authority. No limitation on number
of recontacts, but use good judgment. If interview authorized
by Bureau, advise Bureau of results of contact and plans for
recontacts. Obtain specific authority to make recontact where
circumstances indicate delicate situation and greater than usual
risks involved, such as labor leaders and individuals employed
in educational, mass media, religious, and publishing fields.
ferminate interview with active subversive if third person
arrives during interview. Furnish Bureau details and obtain
Bureau authority prior to reinterview.
Terminate interview immediately if subject is hostile or
uncooperative,
Inform subjects connected with labor unions that Bureau is not
interested in employee-employer relations and is concerned only
with infiltration of labor unions by subversive elements.
Furnish no information and make wo statements to embarrass
Bureau. Questions should require admission or denial by subject
of all pertinent items of subversive information unless to do
so would expose investigative techniques or security informants.
Cordial and friendly attitude alone is not evidence of coopera-
tion insofar as potential dangerousness is concerned when subject
fails to admit or verify subversive information obtained through
previous investigation.
If cooperative, inform subject we want to interview him in
detail and arrange interviews over extended period if necessary
to exploit subject's knowledge to utmost. Conduct necessary
investigation or research to corroborate and develop information
received,
Where appropriate, reduce information obtained to signed state-
ment and determine his willingness to testify to information fur-
nished if needed in Federal proceedings.
When no information is developed during interview which would
affect subject's security index status, promptly submit results
by letter and include in next report. If individual is employed
in or holds -sensitive position in trade-union, educational, mass
media, religious, or publishing fields, results of all interviews
must be submitted promptly in report or LHM, depending on
priority designation, until he begins to cooperate as security
informant or source,
Report subject's admissions of his subversive activities and
associations and indicate whether he did or did not furnish
information regarding subversive activities of others.
Report statements by subject denying subversive activities .
daveloped through prior investigation and follow with concise
statement of such past subversive activity.
Letter transmitting results of interview must contain:
(a) Definite statement or conclusion of interviewing Agents

as to cooperativeness of subject and reasons for conclusion
(b) Statement as to whether information furnished coincides

substantially with other available information -

Dangerousness of individual does not depend entirely upon personal
characteristics, such as aggressiveness or disposition to violence,
It also depends upon contribution he has made or is making in ad~

versive potential in event of national emergency. Loyalty to sub-
versive organization and its principles is primary factor to con-
sider in evaluating potential dangerousness., However, all evidence
must be carefully weighed. Among factors having bearing are:

2 Affiliation with or attendance at training schools, especially
leadership schools .
(3) Frequent or regular attendance at. organizational meetings and
functions
{2 Possession of or study of revolutionary literature. -

Criteria for placing and retaining name in seourity index

Be

db.

Basic criteria ;

No name shall be added to or retained in security index unless one

or more of following have been established through investigation:

(1) Subject has had membership in, or participation in activities
of, basic revolutionary organization within last five years as

. shown by overt acts or statements established through reliable
sources, informants, or individuals.

(2) Subject has had membership in, or participation in the affairs
of, one or more front organizations which adhere to the policies
and doctrines of a basic revolutionary organization, in a leader~
ship capacity or by active substantial participation in further—
ance of those aims and purposes of the front organization which
coincide with those of a basic revolutionary organization, within
the last three years as shown by overt, acts or statements estab
lished through reliable sources, ‘informants, or individuals.

(3) “Investigation has developed information that an individual, though
not a member of or a participant in activities of a basic’ revo~
lutionary or front organization, has anarchist or revolutionary
beliefs and is likely to seize upon the opportunity presented by
@ national emergency to commit acts of espionage or sabotage,
including acts of terrorism, assassination, or any interference

with or threat to the survival and effective operation of national,

state, ani local governments and of the defense effort,

(4) Although investigation has failed to establish the facts required
py (1), (2), or (3) above, either as‘to the substance of those
criteria or because there have beén no overt acts or statements
within time Limits prescribed, facts have been developed which
clearly and unmistakably depict subject as a dangerous individa-
ual who covld be expected to comnit acts of the kind described
in (3) above. ,

Activity in support of Cuban regime

Recommend for security index individuals who would be dangerous or

potentially dangerous to internal security of U. 8. in event of emer-~

gency involving Guba and u. 8. There should be substantial showing
of following:

agency or representative of Cuban Government or pro-Castro group;
acts of violence against anti-~Castro individuals or groups or
against U. S.3 or active collection of intelligence data regarding

Government, and there are reasonable grounds to believe that
such data is to be or has been conveyed to any agency or repre- _
sentative of Cuban Government.

reasonable gcounds to believe loyalty of individual would lie

_ with Cuban Government in event of armed conflict between Cuba

sympathy for aims and objectives of Cuban Government since
10-11-60. Citizenship status must be clearly established,
Pro-Cuban activity
All individuals in secarity index under basic criteria (item 3a,
above) should be tabbed "Pro-Cuban" if by their activities and sym—
pathies they warrant special consideration in event of limited emer~
gency involving Cuba and U. S. This tabbing includes Cubans and non
Cubans who have engaged in activities in. support of Cuban Government

‘or pro-Castro groups. For this tabbing, submit FD-122 to Bureau with

notation "Pro-Cuban" typed opposite words "Miscellanzous (specify)."

Attach page containing concise summary of facts supporting recommen—

dation, Security iniex cards sent to field on such subjects contain

letter "C" cn left side of card at beginning of second line. These
cards are not kept in "Cuban" special section but are tabbed with
metal tabs. :

Evaluating interviews for security index status

1) Positive statement to interviewing Agents clearly indicating ad-
-herence to doctrines, aims, or purposes of revolutionary organ+
ization or front organization shall be considered overt act.

(2) Other than above, interviews are not factors in making determi-
nation as to security index; e.g., lack of cooperation or partial.
cooperation are not factors, : .

Effect of resort to fifth amendment: .

Department has advised resort to fifth.amendment by witness appearing

before governnental body should be considered overt act within security

index criteria (1) when subject was asked directly concerning present

membership in subversive organization and (2) when question calls for

response as to past membership in organization in those cases in which
available information would seem to bring subject within criteria ex-

cept for overt act within required period,

Activity in Nation of Islam and other black nationalist extremist

groups :

Department has advised Nation of Islam constitutes potentially danger-—

ous instrumentality in event of national emergency; statements and

activities of individuals in Nation of Islam indicating anarchist and
revolutionary beliefs should be considered in making judgment as to
whether or not member should be in security index. Give particular
attention to developing and reporting such statements, including vio-
lent and revolutionary statements made by other members in subjectts
presence. Statements should be reported in detail. Apply these in~
structions to other black nationalist extremist groups.

Recommendations for and preparation of security index cards

Be

NW 88321 Docld:32989529 Page 2017

SAG must personally recommend inclusion in and removal of any name

from security index except in offices having more than 1,000 security
index subjects, where recommendations can be made by SAC, ASAC, or
Bureau-epproved security supervisor. .

Where potential dangerousness of subject has been established, office
of origin is to submit recommendation to Bureau on form FD-122, in
triplicate. Forward original and copy to Bureau, and place copy in
subject's file. Nothing should appear on FD-122 which is not in sub-
ject's file, FD-l122 has two uses: (1) to recommend subject for
security index and (2) to submit changes for existing cards: Submit
abstract when recommending subject for security index but no abstract
for additions, deletions, or changes,

When FD-122 is subnitted to recommend subject for security index, attach
additional page or pages setting out succinct summary of faots on which

At Bureau
Entire index is maintained on IBM tabulating cards. Security index
ecards are printed by automatic data processing and transmitted to
fisld., An alphabetical breakdown of true names and all aliases of
subjects is also maintained at Bureau Por administrative purposes.
In field office
Active security index in each field office is maintained in four
sections: geographical, alphabetical, unavailable, and special sec~
tions. Complete set of each field office's security index is also
maintained away from headquarters city in same manner as geographical
section with unavailable and special seotion ecards filed in back,
{1) Geographical section
After receipt of three security index cards from Bureau and after
necessary data have been added to two cards, file one in geo~
graphical section of index {except special section and un-
available section cards) and one in duplicate set maintained away
from headquarters city. Geographical ‘section is broken down by
residence address in accordance with needs of each office. Where
logical, it should be broken down by state, county, city, and,
if needed, into boroughs or suburbs and precincts. Cards are
filed alphabetically under each geographical breakdown. Cards
in this section will be withdrawn and used by Agents should
apprehension of subjects become necessary.

Cards will show "unknown" residence for (2) subjects whose
addresses are ‘not known but prompt location within division is
expected and (b) subjects whose location in another division
is in process of verification, File these cards in breakdown
designated "Verification Pending." With Bureau authority,
offices covering large industrial areas may set up second geo-
graphical section and file cards by subjects' employment.
Depending on time of day apprehensions are initiated, geograph-
ical-employment or geographical-residence section may be used.
{2} Alphabetical section
File duplicate card alphabetically in this section; there is no
other breakdown, Alphabetical card is control card. If card
is withdrawn from geographical section for apprehension, make
notation on alphabetical card,

Special section
Retain cards on individuals in following categories in special
section for reasons stated. Maintain special section in sub-~
sections as follows: . : .
(a) Espionage subjects
When apprehension of subject will destroy chances of pene~
tration and control of operating espionage parallel or de-
stroy chances of penetration and control of "sleeper"
parallel . . : .

(b) U. S. Government employees

So their identities can be readily determined and consider~.
ation given to each before apprehension is ordered

(c} Atomic energy program employees -

Because their apprehension must be cleared with Atomic
Energy Commission representatives to avoid interference
with atomic energy work ;

{a4) Foreign government employees _o .
So consideration may be given to each on basis of relations
then existing between U. S. Government and country involved

{e) United Nations Secretariat and other international organ-
ization employees
Because State Department must be notified after such appre-
hensions take place, This category includes U. S. citizens
and immigrants or stateless persons not holding diplomatic
visas and not having protection of International Organiza-
tion Immunities Act. .

(f) Pro-Tito individuals .

Because such individuals, although pro-Marxist-Leninist,
adhere to Tito form of communism and it is not possible to
predict whéther Tito would become aligned with Russia in
event of open hostilities or would align himself on side

of U. S$. This does not include members of communist groups
who from time to time make statements in support of Tito,.
but only individuals, particularly those of Yugoslav birth
or descent, whose support of Tito is clear and unaquivocal
regardless of Yugoslavia's foreign policies, , -

(g) Cuban . .

So that, in event of emergency involving Cuba and U. S.,
special handling may be afforded those subjects on index
solely on basis of pro-Castro affiliations, activities, or
sympathies. (Security index cards. denoting such contain
code "CUB" on line 1.) -

FD-122 recommending individuals in one of above categories should in-
clude words "Special Section" typed in upper right portion. Type prop-
er category in space after "Miscellaneous (Specify)."

Cards for special section bear appropriate code letters in upper right
portion designating proper subsection. When cards of subjects in

“these categories are received from Bureau, check for accuracy, place

required additional data on two, and file alphabetically in appropriate
subsection of special section, File third card in alphabetical section,
Never file special section cards in geographical section.

tion, submit FD-122 with words "Remove from Special Section" typed

in space provided after "Miscellaneous (Specify)." If card should be
placed in unavailable section, add "Place in Unavailable Section" in .
this space. When new cards are received from Bureau, destroy old cards.
Special section card shall indicate priority level “for apprehension,
although it is not contemplated that subjects in this section will. be
apprehended under mass apprehension program. Cases will be given
individual attention and subjects will not be apprehended in absence

of specific’ Bureau instructions, os .

£. Subject no Longer dangerous or. potentially dangerous
Frequently information is received or investigation develops that
subject is no longer threat to internal security by reason of
physical condition, defection, or expulsion from subversive move~
ment. Such defection may be shown by lack of activity and obvious
disinterest over extended period or declaration of opposition to
principles of subversive movement.

When there is sufficient information regarding subject's present
sympathies to conclude he should no longer be considered dangerous,
request authority for interview or advise Bureau why subject should
not be interviewed. Bureau will not cancel security index card with-
out consideration being given to interview. If, upon interview, sub-
ject proves cooperative, advise Bureau by letter and recommend can-
ecellation.

€. Subjects removed from security index solely upon basis of application
of security index criteria, with no affirmative indication of de-
fection

With passage .of time, limits specified in security index criteria will _

operate to remove subjects even though there is no affirmative in-

dication of defection. When recommending such removal, consider if

facts warrant inclusion of subject in section A of reserve index.

Following procedures are for subjects not being recommended for in-

clusion in section A of reserve index:

Priority apprehension program
a. Purpose
Some security index subjects, because of their training, violent
tendencies, or prominence in subversive activity, would be more
inclined or more capable of committing acts against U. S. in time
of national emergency than others. Such subjects must be immobilized
in least possible time, Individuals in security index tabbed
priority I, and possibly priority II, would be arrested first in
event of limited but grave emergency, probably without arrest of other:
subjects, In all-out emergency, consideration for apprehension will
be given to all subjects. Decision as to priority of apprehension
should be based on subject's subversive activities and revolutionary
tendencies.
b. Priority tabbing
(1) Each security index subject should be considered for priority zr
tabbing whe falls within following categories:
a All top functionaries
b AL1l individuals considered to be hard-core national and
state leaders of basic revolutionary organizations and
- leaders of other subversive organizations and unorganized
groups and individuals who have indicated propensity for
violence and/or have received special training in sabotage,
espionage, and/or guerrilla warfare, or have engaged in
underground operations
Individuals employed in or having -access to key facilities

be. Definition
Top functionary is individual who is on high-policy level in CPUSA,
other subversive organizations, or unorganized groups, to whom it
is necessary to give continuous investigative attention because of
his importance. Term "top functionary"” does not require that in-~
dividuals actually hold official positions in organizations but is
given broad construction to include others of equal importance be-
cause of their influence in movement itself, or their position and
activities outside movement in labor, front, or similar organiza~
tions, Consider black nationalist extremists whose importance jus~
tifies continuous investigative attention. .

c. Manner of designation

: Prior Bureau authority necessary to designate subject as top func-
tionary. Top functionaries are to be in priority I and reports are
submitted annually. .

or as enclosure to report, Meintain copy in subject's file.
If album of top functionary photographs maintained, keep
duplicate in subject's file.

(3) Handwriting specimens
Obtain suitable handwriting specimens of each top functionary.
.When possible, obtain specimens from public records, law enforce-
ment agencies, and similar sources. Send specimgsns to Bureau
under separate cover letter by registered mail for attention
of FBI Laboratory. When they may be of value as avidence, so
state in transmittal letter and request their return after copies
have been made. Specimens should be sufficient to permit future
comparisons by Laboratory.

(4) Security index cards
Request preparation by FD-122 at earliest possible moment.

(5} Change of office of origin
FD-128 changing office of origin on top functionary automatically
deletes him as top functionary in old office and adds him as

designating organizational affiliation or nationalistic tendency}

.@. Maintenance. of list

Correlation of other investigations with security index and reserve index
Individuals investigated by Bureau under any classification against whom
subversive information is developed must be considered for security
index and/or reserve index. This includes espionage, foreign intelligence,
applicant-type, and security of Government employees {SGE) investigations.
When individual previously investigated under SGE classification is security
index subject and is still employed by Federal Government or is being con-
sidered for Federal employment, use dual character of "Security of Govern~
ment Employees" and character of security case in reports to insure
routing to proper field and Bureau desks for supervision. Use standards
prevailing for SGE reports. Disseminate these reports as any dther secu-
rity report. Advise representatives of other agencies requesting reports

of SGH investigation to direct request to their headquarters for referral
to Bureau.

DISSEMINATION OF DATA DEVELOPED IN SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS

Policy

Proper utilization of information received is foremost among Bureau's
responsibilities. Information obtained during investigations should

be forwarded to other interested agencies. in executive branch unless
there are compelling reasons not to do so. Delimitations Agreement

and Presidential directives provide for dissemination to other agencies
which have present or potential interest information relating to espionage,
sabotage, subversive activities, and related matters.

Bureau requirements .

Because all conceivable situations cannot be anticipated, data below
pertains to representative situations which occur frequently. Basic
rule is that security information must be furnished promptiy to inter-
ested agencies in executive branch. Term "interested agency" must be
interpreted in light of reason and common sense. Bring any unusual
situations to Bureau's attention promptly for consideration,

Gonsiderations affecting national defense in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto
Rico necessitate broadest possible construction to requirements for
dissemination to intelligence services.in those areas. See Manual of
Rules and Regulations, part II, section 5, pertaining to Bureau's
overall responsibilities, policies, and exceptions in dissemination.

a. Members of armed forces .
Delimitations Agreement between FBI and armed forces intelligence
agencies (see section 102B, volume IV, of this manual) requires
each agency to exchange freely and directly with other subscribing
agencies all information of mutual interest. Any information
developed concerning members of military services must be referred
immediately to appropriate military branch having primary respon-
sibility, even though allegations have not. been fully resolved or
verified. Specifically point out in such instances that infor-
mation has not been verified. When it is determined security
subject is member of armed services, discontinue investigation
immediately, advise Bureau, and disseminate pertinent reports
locally to appropriate intelligence agency. Dissemination regarding‘:
military personnel is hot confined to subjects. of security investi-
gations but extends to any subversive data developed against member
of armed services during FBI investigations. If member of armed
forces has been in contact with security subject or any individual
or group with security implications, immediately advise appropriate
local intelligence service, even though security aspects of contact
heve not been resolved. Point out in such instances that infor~
mation is unverified and transmit any additional developments im-
mediately.

close relatives in armed forces. Promptly call such associations

to attention of appropriate military intelligence services, together
with pertinent data, including reports, on subjects involved. Eval-
vation of these associations lies antirely within province of mili-
tary intelligence services, but Bureau must disseminate this infor-
mation immediately upon receipt. Advise Bureau by letter concerning
any subversive contacts or information developed concerning military
personnel, including statement as to local dissemination and enclosing

pending Bureau approval only if subject is in category 3 of agree- i

ment. Make prompt dissemination of information developed on i

; subjects other than those in category 3.

(2) If subject of prior investigation is being recommended for security y

index, do not disseminate prior reports. Prepare LHM containing

pertinent information previously developed and disseminate to-

Seoret Service with current report. Forward copies of LHM to

Bureau for SOG dissemination.

3} FD~376 should accompany LHM submitted in priority III cases.

After initial dissemination to Secret Service in security index

cases, as changes occur in residence and employment , advise

Secret Service locally and furnish two copies of LHM, containing

reference to previous communication disseminated to Secret Service,

to Bureau for SOG dissemination. FD-366 may be used for this
purpose.

(5) When reporting changes in residence and/or employment of
Chinese and Cuban aliens on security index, disseminate to
Secret Service, advise INS locally, and furnish four copies of
LUM to Bureau for SOG dissemination. Copy furnished INS locally
and two copies furnished Bureau should reference last communica~
tion to INS, : 7

(6) For instructions pertaining to dissemination to Secret Service in.
matters involving threats against President, refer to section
134B, volume IV, of this manual.

(7) Upon transfer of office of origin in these cases, old office of
origin is to furnish Secret Service locally with subject's new
residence and business address and advise Bureau this has been
done by submission of two copies of LHM disseminated locally.

New office of origin need take no action regarding dissemination
to Secret Service until further changes occur in subject's status
or preparation of next periodic report,

k. Dissemination at Bureau
There are situations in which dissemination is made only at Bureau.

Do not disseminate information to any field branch of another Govern-

ment agency where security measures are inadequate. In these instances

bring data to immediate attention of Bureau for SOG dissemination.

In addition, Atomic Energy Commission receives reports only through

Bureau. Information relating to foreign travel plans of security

subjects is disseminated to interested agencies, including State

Department, only at S$0G.]

“@ 87. SECURITY INVESTIGATION? ‘ 87D

locate subjects are not to be submitted, The Bureau
will closely follow investigative action to locate
missing security index subjects,

It. If you receive indications that the subject went to
Mexico or Canada, request the Bureau to alert other
appropriate Government agencies to this possibility
and to determine any available verifying information
through liaison channels, :

III. If the subject is reported to have gone to any other
’ foreign country, the Washington Field Office should be
requested to check the records of the Passport Office
of the State Department for verification.

IV. When all logical leads have been exhausted in the case
of a missing important functionary, consideration should
be given to circularizing all field offices with the
subject's photograph and background information for the
purpose of alerting the entire field to the identity
of the subject. Bureau authority must be obtained be-—
fore circularization is made. In seeking Bureau author—
ity, advise the Bureau as to the position held by the

subject and what efforts have already been made to locate

hin,

If this procedure is to be effective, its application

must necessarily be restrictive in the number of subjects
to which it is applied. Therefore, requests to circularize

must be made only after every possible Lead has been,
exhausted and then only in the cases-‘of the most impor—
tant missing functionaries,

Individuals traveling abroad (Also consider section 105G,

volume IV, of this manual.

When information is received indicating that{(1}) a subject of a

current security investigation, (2) a subject whose name is

included in agitator index or priorities I or II of -security
index, or (3) where information available indicates. a subject of

a past security investigation may be a "sleeper" or in an under-~

ground capacity, or where current information otherwise would

indicate a need to effect foreign coverage, ]

intends to travel abroad or has already departed this country

for foreign travel, take following action:

(2) Immediately advise the Bureau by letterhead memorandum
setting forth complete available details concerning
the foreign travel, including places and dates of departure
and intended return, destination and itinerary, purpose
of trip, the exact name under which the passport was
issued, the number of the passport, and the office issuing
the passport, if known. Include in the letterhead
memorandum a full description of the subject, including
all aliases, and in the case of Chinese and Korean
subjects Chinese telegraphic code and Korean telegraphic
code numbers, as well as a concise resume of available
subversive data regarding the subject. Do not delay in
advising the Bureau of the actual or intended travel
while developing the details of the travel as time is
of the essence in this matter.

(b) Set out a lead for the Washington Field office for a check
of the records of the Passport Office, Department of State;
however, do not limit efforts to develop above information
to a check of such records.

Obtain and report a detailed physical description,

During the course of the initial investigation in any’
security-type case, including espionage and nationalistic
tendency cases, the physical characteristics and descrip-—

‘tion of the subject shall be determined or verified by

personal observation, It is not necessary to observe
pervonally the subject of any case where preliminary
investigation determines the basis for opening the

case is unfounded, :

The subject should be personally observed, if possible,
early in the investigation after it is determined that

@ complete investigation is warranted to develop the
extent of a subject's subversive activities and to
consider whether the subject's name should be added to

the security index. This action should be taken in the
course of developing background information to determine
‘the true identity and existence of the subject and to .
assist in establishing that the subject of the investi-
gation is the person against whom the subversive
allegations have been made, Each subject should be
personally observed whenever a complete security investi~
gation is conducted even though a security index card

is not being recommended at the completion of the
investigation,

Do not delay the submission of form FD-122 recommending
the addition of a subject's name to the security index
even though it has not been possible to observe personally
the subject if it has been determined through. investigation
‘that the subject is dangerous or potentially dangerous,

If a security index card is not being recommended after
all Logical investigation has been conducted and it has
not been possible to observe personally the subject during
the investigation, the case may be closed even though

this has not been done, If a security index card has

been recommended and prepared and it has not been possible
to personally observe the subject, the case shall remain
open until such time as the subject is personally observed,
except when it has been determined that the sub ject .

is residing outside the U. S. or Puerto Rico, in which
event the case may be closed if there is no other

pending investigation and the matter should be followed
administratively to be certain that the subject is .
personally observed upon his return to this country.

Reasonable efforts should be made during the investigation
of a security subject to obtain a photograph of the
subject through usual sources,

Cases on security index subjects are “to be maintained

ina pending status until such time as a suitable
photograph is obtained unless circumstances dictate
otherwise, in which case the Bureau should be advised.
Once a photograph has been obtained, continue to be

alert for the existence of more recent photographs which
may become available.

Purpose

The reserve index is designed to represent those persons who,

in the light of ever-changing conditions, should be continually
borne in mind from the standpoint of the security of the country
with a view toward possible investigation, interrogation, or
action under the security index program. This index may serve

-88 an administrative aid and working index containing a central

repository of the names of individuals having sympathy for or
affiliation with the Communist Party or other basic revolutionary
organizations,

Individuals to be included : ;
This index is to contain names of in@ividuels when, following
investigation, the information does not justify the inclusion of

the subject's name in the security index when there is evidence of:

(a) Membership in a basic revolutionary organization subsequent

: to January 1, 1949, together with some indication of sympathy
or association with such an organization or a subversive
front organization subsequent to the reported membership and
no reliable evidence of defection

“() Investigation has failed to substantiate allegations of

membership in a revolutionary organization within the past
five years, coupled with some evidence or information
indicating activity, association, or sympathy for the

_, Subversive cause within the same period, and mo reliable
evidence of defection,

(c) The individual, within the past five years, by his associa~

tions, writings, financial support, or conduct in relation

to and support of subversive organizations or the international
communist movement is in a position to influence others at

the time of a national emergency and no reliable evidence of
defection.

(a) Leadership or substantial activities in a major subversive
front group over three years ago, together with some evidence
of continuing activity, association, or sympathy for the
subversive cause within three years and no reliable evidence

. of defection :

(e) Membership in a subversive front organization within the

past three years and no reliable evidence of defection

{e) Names shail be included in security index only when inves-~-
tigation has established and reports show sufficient Pacts (.
and evidence to justify inclusion of each subject in secu-
rity index,

(£) Contents of security index must be accurate and correct at
all times. Matters pertaining to its preparation and main-

“ tenance must be given preferred, expeditious, continuous,
and detailed attention,

(g) Matters pertaining to security index are strictly confiden-
tial and are not to be mentioned or alluded to in investi-

: gative reports.

(bh) General operation and content of security index must not be

- discussed by field personnel of Bureau without prior Bureau
. authority. , 2
.{i) Matters pertaining to security index may be discussed with
- duly qualified representatives of other Federal intelligence

ue agencies only on a strictly confidential basis and only in
instances in which an individual subject of prime interest <
to one of these services is involved. .

(2) Determination of dangerousness of an individual

(a) The dangerousness of a member or affiliate of a subversive
organization does not necessarily depend entirely upon his
personal characteristics, such as aggressiveness or a dis-
position to violence. Although these factors must be taken
into consideration in evaluating an individual's potential

‘dangerousness, other factors‘are essential in making this
-G@etermination. An individual's dangerousness also depends
upon contribution he has made or is making in advancement
of principles and aims of subversive movement with which he
is connected or his subversive potentialities in event of a
“nationadl emergency. Bear in mind that & subject active in
a subversive organization is not merely an isolated individ- .
. wal but is a part of an organization of which the purposes (
are opposed to best interests of U. S. An individual's
-e -loyalty to a subversive organization and the principles
Lo, thereof is'a primary factor to take into consideration in
coe | evaluating his potential dangerousness; however, regardless
of evidence of subversive affiliation, all evidence devel-
‘oped during course of a security investigation must be
~ . ‘" carefully weighed for purpose of determining whether sub-
shot * ject's activities depict him as a potentially dangerous in-~
dividual in time of a national emergency. Factors having
a bearing upon an individual's potential dangerousness are
numerous and will vary in each case in degree.
Among such factors are:
I. Long continued membership in a subversive organization
It. Affiliation with or attendance at training schools,
especially leadership schools
IIT. Frequent or regular attendance at organizatiqnal meetings
and functions
IV. Subscriptions to publications of a subversive organization '
V. Possession of or continued study of revolutionary Litera-
. . ture
~ : , - VI. Preparation or distribution of subversive propaganda and/or
. literature
VIE. Holding positions in subversive organization or jn other -
organizations of a front character which indicate confi-
dence of such organizations in his Loyalty
VIII. Espousal of a subversive doctrine axemplified in his acts
and utterances

Where potential dangerousness of a subject has been
established and inclusion of that subject in security index
is warranted, office of origin shall submit a recommendation
for inclusion in security index by submitting form FD-122

to Bureau. Form must be prepared in triplicate. Forward
original and one copy to Bureau and place one copy in sub-

" ject's investigative case file.

‘Nothing should appear on FD-122 or subsequently on security

index card which is not in subject's case file. Porm FD-122
has two uses: (1) to recommend 2 subject for inclusion in
security index and (2) to submit changes to data which ap-
pears on face of security index cards already existent.

Proper selection should be made in opening paragraph option.
FD-122 is submitted with abstract when used to recommend —
subject for inclusion in security index and without abstract
when used to indicate additions, deletions, or changes in
data appearing on existing cards.

When form FD-122 is submitted to Bureau recommending inclu-
sion of a name in security index, attach additional page or
pages setting out a succinct summary of facts on which rece-
ommendation has been based. Facts must be in detail to
Clearly show soundness of recommendation. Complete justi-
fication for designated priority level for apprehension must

.be included, Statements of conclusion-are not enough and

original sources must be characterized as to reliability.
Summary must contain pertinent dates of subject's activities.
When, at conclusion of investigation, subjeét'ts neme is not
being recommended for security index, set out a brief summa-
ry statement in appropriate communication closing case shovw-
ing reasons for decision.

Security index cards shall be recommended by and maintz-ned
by office of origin only.

A current{summarylreport must bo in possession of Bursau
when subject is recommended for security index.

To assure that subject recommended for security index will
receive proper attention, case shall be kept in pending or
pending-inactive status until security index card has been
received from Bureau and filed in office security index.

If case continues in pending status because of outstanding
investigation, reports shall carry a lead to follow author-
ization of security index card by Bureau and if approved to
disseminate a copy of report to Secret Service in addition
to other leads. If outstanding investigation has been com
pleted and case would otherwise be closed upon submission of
report and form FD-122, case shall be placed in pending-
inactive status with lead to follow authorization of security
index card by Bureau and if approved to disseminate copy of

_ report to Secret Service. In latter instance, upon receipt

NW 88321 Docld:32999529 Page 2053

of security index card and following local dissemination to
Secret Service, case may be closed administratively,
Recommendation for security index card should not be delayed
because of absence of information concerning race, sex,
citizenship, date and place of birth, or description whare -
Ssacurity index card is warranted. In auch instances, rec~

NW 88321 Docld:32999529 Page 2056

At Bureau

The entire security index is maintained at the Bureau
through the utilization of IBM tabulating cards.. The

5S~ by 8-inch security index cards are printed by automatic
data processing and transmitted to the field, Through the
use of this device, the security index can be broken down
into the various categories of information appearing on
the security index cards when such breakdowns become necessary
for administrative purposes at the Bureau, This procedure
Makes it possible to maintain the content of the security
index in the field and at the Bureau in an identical con-
dition at all times. .

4n alphabetical breakdown of the true names and all aliases
of security index subjects is also maintained at the Bureau
for administrative purposes. : -

; { . . those individuals in priority I and once[levery two years ]
/ . - for all other subjects. Pretext means may be utilized
( . during other periodic checks conducted either personally
. or through appropriate sources.
(c) The physical characteristics and description of each
security index subject shall be determined or verified
by personal observation and the individual case file of
each security index subject shall show that this has been
done, If a security index subject has not been personally
; observed previously, this should be done during the next
. ° . verification of the subject's residence and/or business

(a) Use form FD-154 in verifying addressesof security index
subjects when its use will facilitate the checking of the
‘addresses. When FD-154 is not used in verifying addresses,
a notation must be made on the last FD-154, FD-122, or FD-128
in the subject's case file showing the subject's current
residence and business addresses and the date such addresses
were verified. This must be done to assure that the- file
will contain all information concerning the status of the
case and that the file will come to the attention of the
Agent or field supervisor to determine if additional action
is warranted at the time of the verification of addresses.
Each time that a security index subject's residence and
: employment are verified, the case must be reevaluated to
- . : Lo assure that the subject is qualified for inclusion in the
. security index undex the criteria for such inclusion. A
notation to the effect that the case has been reviewed for
this purpose shall be made in the file.: -

security by reason of physical condition, defection or ex-
pulsion from subversive movement, membership in or affilia-
tion with which was reason for placing him in security in-

_ dex. Such defection may be shown by lack of activity and
_ obvious disinterest over an extended period of time or upon

declaration of opposition to principles’ of subversive move-
ment. Latter may manifest itself in declarations by a sub-
ject in presence of confidential informants or other sources,
statements to press, or actual contact with Bureau repre-
sentatives and admission of ‘previous subversive activity.

. Bive, request authority to interview subject or advise

Bureau of reasons why subject should not’ be interviewed.

“(11) Priority apprehension program
(2) Purpose
Many individuals included in security index because of their
training, violent tendencies, or prominencé in subversive
activity are extremely dangerous and would be more inclined
to commit or capable of committing overt acts against U. S.
in time of national emergency than would others in security
index. Degree of dangerousness of such individuals is so
pronounced that in interest of security they must be immo-~
‘“bilized in least possible time prior to others in security
. index.

[ . ' Individuals in security index tabbed priority I and[possibly]
priority IIT would be arrested first in event of a limited
but grave emergency, probably without arrest of other secu-
rity index subjects. .

In an all- out emergency, (secondary consideration for appre-
hension will be given toJali subjects whose names are[in-
cluded in priority TII of security index.]

Cnet es nee

Hach individual case should stand on its own merits and

decision to consider subjects for priority of apprehension

should be based on subject's subversive activities and

revolutionary tendenceis.

{(b} Subjects to be tabbed priority

I. Each security index subject should be considered for
_priority I tabbing who falls within one or more of fol-
-Lowing categories: :

A) <ALL top functionaries .

B AlL individuals considered to be hard core national
and state basic revolutionary organization leaders
and those leaders of other subversive organizations
and unorganized groups and individuals who have in-

. . dicated a propensity for violence and/or have re-
: ; ceived spacial training in sabotage, espionage, and/
or guerrilla warfare, Examples of activities of
individuals who should be included in this priority
are as follows:
i. Activity as organizers or leaders in the
organization
Special training at Lenin School or Far Eastern
Institute in Moscow
Experience as picket captains, strong-arm mon,
or active participation in violent strikes, riots,
or demonstrations
iv. Violent statements or strong revolutionary
tendencies as shown by their activities

(e) General
I. Tabbing of cards
The alphabetical security index cards on “those individuals ~~
‘designated as "Pro-CGuban" should be tabbed with a metal
. tab.

“II. Removal from priority I and priority II ~

Careful analysis must be made of each case in which

‘deletion from priority I and priority II is proposed,

For instance, when a subject is being removed’ from

priority I or priority II tabbing, file review may well

@isclose that subject qualifies for priority tabbing.

; for reasons covered in 87D 7b (11): (b).

-¢ c. Individuals employed in or having access to key facilities

(1) Responsibility

FBI is responsible by Presidential directive for keeping other
Federal agencies advised of developments within their juris-—
diction affecting plants having armed forces contracts, a8 well
as other facilities, utilities, and critical points of trans-—
portation and communications systems which have been designated
as vital to the national defense and welfare by the Department
of Defense.

?
oar

: ‘FBI is responsible under Delimitations Agreement for investi-
* gating employees of private contractors who have contracts with
“ agencies of Department of Defense where credible subversive
information concerning employee is obtained. Thorough investi-
gation must be conducted and consideration for inclusion in
security index given concerning any individual employed in or
having access to a key facility who is alleged to -have been,
at any time in the past, a member of any basic revolutionary
organization or against whom sufficient other subversive
information is.in our possession which warrants such action.
(a) Requests for investigation from another agency
“When another agency requests investigation of individual

employed in key facility, institute investigation immediately
if basis of request so warrants. Advise Bureau of request,
basis thereof, and that investigation is being conducted.

t (o}) Verification of key facility status of place of employment

Department of Defense Key Facilities List (maintained in
each office) must be checked for verification of information
‘that a security investigation subject's place of employment
“may be included in such list.
(ec) Individuals denied access to restricted information
intelligence agencies of armed forces frequently advise
that an individual has been denied clearance to work.in
a defense plant or to handle classified or restricted
“information. In some instances clearance is denied based
on information furnished by Bureau, At other times, in-
formation in Bureau files is very meager or possibly
negative and basis for such denial of clearance is not
‘known. The intelligence agency.is responsible for furnish—
“ing Bureau with any information involving ai sloyal ty or m
subversiveness, - . . . :

Office receiving notification that an individual has been
denied clearance must ascertain promptly basis for such
_ denial and obtain all pertinent data contained in file of

will be furnished upon completion of investigation. Latter to
intelligence agency should clearly point out that information is
unsubstantiated and has not been verified through investigation
by FBI.

: In’addition to disseminating to interested intelligence agencies
information of a derogatory security nature developed concerning
parsons employed at facilities holding classified contracts, with

- axception of classified contracts with Atomic Energy Commission,
such information should be furnished to Chief, Defense Industrial
Security Clearance Office (DISCO), Defense Supply Agency, Colum-
bus, Ohio, 43215, attention Chief, Adjudication Division. In ’

‘each instance, advise interested intelligence agency that dissem-

functionary program
General
Purpose of top functionary program is to select for special
attention those individuals in a subversive movement who are
of outstanding importance to the effectiveness of the movement.

Top functionary program is described below as pertaining to

the Communist Party, USA. However, it also applies to important
individuals active in or on behalf of other basic revolutionary
groups, subversive organizations, or unorganized groups who
have indicated a propensity for violence.

Definition of top functionary

A top functionary is an individual, either a member or a
nonmember of the Communist.Party, to whom, because of his
importance, it is necessary to give continuous investigative
attention in order to keep abreast of communism on a.

national basis in the U. S&S. Necessarily, such an individual |
would be on a high policy leval in the movement. This also
applies to an individual, either a member or a nonmember

of other subversive organizations or unorganized groups,

who would be on a high policy level in the movement. ; -

The term “top functionary" is not to be construed as re-
quiring that individuals in this category must actually

- hold official positions in the organizations but shall -

be given 2 broad enough construction to include others who
are of equal importance because of their influence in the
movement itself, or their position and activities outside
the party in labor, front, or similar organizations or
movements, Black nationalist extremists whose -importance
dJustifies continuous investigative attention should be.
considered for designation as top functionaries.

Manner of designation of top functionary

Prior Bureau authority necessary to designate a subject

as a top functionary. Submit such recommendation to Bureau
by letter containing reasons for the recommendation. Bureau
desires to be very selective in this matter and to iconcentrate
on individuals who, on a national basis, .are the guiding

hands in the communist movement and other subversive move-

ments. Top functionaries are to be included in priority I

ay are to ba submitted in accordance with 87D

. “ . . . . In ease of individual subject of prior investigation who is
( , - : currently being recommended for security index, do not dissemi-
- . . ' ' nate prior reports. However, prepare a letterhead memorandum
. including pertinent information previously developed which should
. be disseminated to Secret Service, together with current report.
Copies of this letterhead memorandum should be forwarded to
Bureau for dissemination at headquarters level.

{ . . - ‘{PD-376 should also accompany succinct letterhead memoranda sub-
C . . mitted in priority III security index cases.]

. After initial dissemination to Secret. Service in security index
: cases, as changes occur in status of individuals involved with
so respect to rasidencs and employment, advise Secret Service
z. locally and furnish two copies of letterhead memorandum to
“Bureau for dissemination 2t SOG. Form FD-366 may be used for
; this purpose. Letterhead memorandum should contain a reference
. . : to previous communication disseminated to Secret Services.

0 When reporting changes in residence and/or employment concerning

* w..  Ghinese and Cuban aliens on security index, in addition to dis-

semination to Secret Service, also advise Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) locally, and furnish four copies of
letterhead memorandum to Bureau for dissemination at SOG. Bear
in mind in filling out reference that some letterhead memoranda

_have been expressly prepared for. dissemination to Secret Sarvice
only and have not been furnished to Department or INS; therefore,
copy furnished INS lccally and two of copies furnished Bureau
should reference last communication to INS.

For instructions. pertaining to dissemination to Secret Service
. - in other than security index cases, refer to section 13483,
< . . volume IV, of this manual.

Upon transfer of office of origin in one of these cases, olf
office of origin is to furnish Secret Sérvice locally with sub-
ject's new residence and business address and advise Bureau that
such has been done by submission of two copies of letterhead
-memorandum disseminated locally. New office of origin need take
no action regarding dissemination to Secret Service until such
time as further changes occur with respect to subject's status
..°' or until preparation of next periodic report in case,
‘(20) Dissemination at Bureau
. There are some situations in which dissemination is made at
. Bureau instead of in field. In majority of instances, informa-
tion received by FBI should properly be furnished immediately
to some other agency within executive branch of Government so
that responsibilities of other agency might be fulfilled proper-
- iy. Care must be taken, however, not to disseminate information
to any field branch of another Government agency where such a
. procedure is deemed inadvisable because of inadequacy of security
measures in that branch. In these instances data should be
. brought to immediate attention of Bureau for dissemination at S0G.
_.. Am example of latter is, of course, Atomic Energy Commission,
an - , which receives reports only through Bureau, as noted in section
_- . ' 87D 7e (3) of this manual. Information relating to foreign -
. _ travel plans of security subjects is disseminated to interested
a “ agencies, including State Department, omly at SOG, as set out in
87D 6b (4). Dissemination is also mde at SOG to State Depart-
ment, unless it appears undesirable, in those cases in which
subjects have been indicted for viclations grounded on suvvers ive
activities. _

to exchange freely and directly with other subscribing: organizations :
” all information of mutual interest.

Thus, in discharging our basic responsibilities . in the internal
security field, it is imperative that information concerning
Sot members of the military services be referred immediately to the
mt appropriate branch having primary responsibility for its :
personnel, This procedure is mandatory, even though the security
-~ *- " aspects of the data have not been fully resolved or verified.
- - Et should be specifically pointed out in such instances that the
information has not been verified. oF

.

Section 87D 5b of this manual instructs that if it is determined

@ security subject is a member of the armed services the investi-.
gation must at that point be disoontinued immediately and reported
to the Bureau. The basis for such instruction lies in the fact
that the subject is no longer within our investigative juris-—
diction. In addition, dissemination of pertinent reports must

be made locally in the field to the appropriate intelligence

" agency.
Our responsibility with regard %o military personnel is not con- (
fined to those who have been the subjects of security investi-

gations, It extends to any subversive derogatory date developed -
against a member of the armed services during any of our investi-
gations of either individuals or organizations. For instance,
if it is determined that a member of the armed forces has been
in contact with a security subject or with any individual or group _
raising security implications, the appropriate intelligence
service should be immediately advised Locally. This should be

* done even though the security aspects of the contact have not been
resolved, so that the military services may be in a position to dis-—
charge their responsibilities. It must be pointed out to them
specifically in such instances that the data are unverified,
and pertinent developments must be transmitted to them thereafter
immediately upon receipt,

Soe pee.

'. Section 87D 6b (1) (nh) provide's that auring the course of security
investigations it must be determinéd whether the subjects have

. any close relatives in. the armed forces. Our responsibilities

‘ require that such associations be called to the attention of the

vores _ appropriate military intelligence services, together with per— -
tinent data, including reports, on the security subjects involved.

- The evaluation of these associations Lies entirely within ‘the
province of the intelligence services, but for the reasons stated

‘\ previously herein it is incumbent upon the Bureau to disseminate
this information immediately upon receipt.

Any subversive contacts or information developed concerning
military personnel must be set out in a letter to the Bureau,
together with a statement as to the local dissemination made in
the field. Such letter should be accompanied by a letterhead
Memorandum setting out with particularity the subversive data
in a form entirely suitable for dissemination,

of efficers from the club through the district level. Identify each
Cormunist Party club and scetian in the di. .rict, together with the

Comaunist Party district should furnish the required information to
the office of origin for inclusion in its survey by March 15 of each
year.

investigative activity to be undertaken to eliminate any weaknesses
Getected. In those instances in which the disclosed weakness is that
of lack of adequate informant coverage, advise in detail of the’

number of Bureau~-approved potential security informants being developed

_.in the particular area, as well as concrete plans to obtain additional

informant coverage in the future.

Each survey should contain a statement that all persons identified as

SECTION 87, SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS |
" a
The Communist y, USA, is divided into sist and state
organizations, then into county, city, section, and club
organizations. The number and nature of these subdivisions Z¢

are dependent on the number of members in the various localities,
ee Every party member must belong to a party club,

The Communi'st Party strategy and policy is based primarily on the . i
loyal support and defense of the Soviet Union. The party line
changes from time to time depending upon.the current program of
the international communist movement. . . ar, _ +

b. Socialist Workers Party .

- ‘The Socialist Workers Party was founded at a convention held in
{ Chicago, Illinois, from 12-31-37 to 1-3-38, The following statements

are taken from the "Declaration of Principles and Constitution of
the Socialist Workers Party" which was adopted at .this convention:

"The purpose of the party is set forth in its declaration of
principles: Its purpose shall be to educate and organize the working
class for the abolition of capitalism and the establishment of

@ workers government to achieve Socialism." (From article 11 under
the caption "Purpose.") Lo

"We call upon all revolutionary militants to join with us to build

the SWP into the mass revolutionary party which will lead the work-

ing class of the United States to power; and which, together with

. the revolutionists of all countries united in the Fourth International,
will achieve the vietory of the international revolution end of world
Socialism." . é .

"The main specific task of the SWP is the mobilization of the American
masses for strugglé against American Capitalism, and for its over~
throw...." (Part TIz of above pamphlet. )

. - Shortly after the Pourth International was founded in Switzerland on.

9-3-38, the Socialist Workers Party in the U. S. announced that it | f
was the "American Section" of the "world party of the Socialist
os - revolution" (Fourth International). At. a special convention on

12-21-40, the Socialist Workers Party passed a resolution ending
its organizational connection with the Fourth tnternational (because
of the passage of the Voorbis Act).

Policy
a. Communist Party, USA . wot

By Presidential directive on 9-6- 39, and subsequent restatements
(see section 102, volume IV, of this manual), this Bureau is charged
with the responsibility of coordinating all information with regard
to the internal security of the U. S. Since 1939, a large portion
of the Bureau's security investigations has been directed toward
a coverage of the activities of communists and other groups whose

- aims seek the overthrow of the U. 8S. Government. The Communist
Party, USA, is the best organized and most dangerous from a security
standpoint. The party is not an isolated or purely domestic organ-
ization but is part of an international communist movement led and
dominated by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the ultimate
aim of which is to establish a world-wide communist state. The
Communist Party, USA, bases its theory on the principles of Marxism-
Leninism, (Considerable evidence shows that these principles look

- toward the violent overthrow of the U. 8S. Government or its downfall
in the event of a war with the Soviet Union.) It would be a grave.
error to suppose that, because the party is actually and potentially
small, it is not dangerous. The contemplated role of the party is
such that it can be played best by an organization which is cohesive,
easily mobilized, highly maneuverable, fanatically zealous, well
disciplined, and immediately responsive in an emergency to the demands
of its leaders, The highest authority in the Communist Party, USA,
is the national convention which meets approximately once every two
years. Between these conventions, the national committee is the’
highest authority of the party.

87D

The above is not all-inclusive, Facts acreloped in each case

will produce information which will be indicative of the necessity
for comlucting further investigation along Lines which will
uecessitate the use of various investigative techniques to develop
the cease fully. The successful investigetien of an individual
will dcpend upon the resourcefulness of the investigating Agants
in developing techniques which will further establish the suh-
versive activity of, a subject,

Discretion must be used in those instances in which

contact
with persons known to the subdect is ppotiovet desiratle,
Where such contact is contemplated, the Agent should assure

himself of the character, loyalty, and reliability of the porson
to be contacted concerning the subject by reviewing the office
indices and in some instances conducting preliminary inquiry,
pessibly under pretext, with others t0 ascertain the character,
reliability, and loyalty of the person of whom inquiry concern~
ing the subject is intended. : ~

In conducting security investigations the necessity of ob-
taining admissible evidence must be continually borne in mind,
However, sources furnishing information of a confidenti:1 nature
are valuable and should be continued and enlarged for the pur-
pose of obtaining information which can be corroborated by

other sources which can be @isclosed, thus rendering the infor-
mation admissible as evidence,

The danger of relying upon evidence from only one confidential
informant or other source is obvious and every effort should be
obtain evidence from various types of sources and through
various investigative techniques,

Information obtained from one source should be corroborated
by contacts with confidential informants, public and private
sources, through physical and photog:' phic surveillances,
review of office files, and other so..-es. Adequate
eoordination of £

information received from confidential sources

with active investigation should be maintained at all times, For
example, when it is ascertained through one of these sources that
an important meeting is to occur, the nature of the meeting should
be confirmed if possible by independent sources which can furnish
evidence of an admissible character, The meeting should be covered
by arrangement for attendance by confidential informants to ob-—
tain admissible evidence of the proceedings. The meetings should
Be placed under physical surveillance, licenses of autor>+biles
parked near the meeting place noted, and attendants ide sified.

If possible and advisable, photographic surveillances skould

be established, Other types of information received from confi-
dential sources should receive similar attention in order that
verification may be made and admissible evidence developed,
Preservation of evidence :
Identify, preserve, and maintain continuity of evidence ob~
tained with a view to its possible admission in Federal pro-
ceedings. Identify specifically as to source and date,
